Ann The Gran Community

Re your free design 'search'.  Your previous web site allowed searching for contributors designs - I really liked that option.  Is there any way I can do this on your new site??

We do not offer the ability to search for Free Designs on our new site, as this feature was causing some technical problems on our old site.

One of the things we are recommending that you do if you are having trouble locating a specific design or keyword is to post in our General Discussion forum (for example, I'm looking for a purple giraffe) and see if our other users have any suggestions on where to find what you're looking for. If you add the tag 'purple giraffe embroidery design' to your post, just about anyone searching the internet (not just AnnTheGran.com) will find your post, and hopefully reply with their own suggestions, increasing your chances of finding exactly what you're looking for.

If you would like to know how to contribute new free designs, or if you are searching for free designs that you can't find in our Free Designs section, you can find more information in the following post:

In the new site, I am unable to search for a specific subject inside the free design area, for example "boat"

Hello.  AnnTheGran has many free designs and I am sure cataloging them was a nightmare.  Sometimes, you have to go "outside the box".  Category, "Transportation" would cover all moving vehicles.  Boats would fall under there.  Also, sometimes, hobbies/sports would cover boats.   "Silly" boats could also fall under "Children/Kids".  Hope this helps.
