i saw this come across more on reddit n why was i searching there? bc i hv the same problem but i dont hv an account there so im gonna just share the resources here. so some ppl struggle with creating embroidery designs bc they just genuinely cannot draw and arent skilled with design etc and finding ref images can be hard even more so if ur creating things to sell and want to avoid any possible copyright issues. and the answer is really just look for vintage images there are tons of websites dedicated to compiling vintage images that are royalty free that you can play around with which is super cool and also ofc clip art
