Finding Embroidery Designs Online

The following sites offer a mixture of free and paid embroidery designs that you can download; you are responsible for costs associated with the paid designs. A few tips about using downloaded designs:

• File format = PES
• We have 2 hoop sizes: 5" x 7" and 6" x 10"
• Save your designs on a USB stick (if you don't have one, we can copy them onto ours); these can be loaded onto the machine and mixed with built-in fonts and designs

Note: Fonts found online must typically be converted to PES format using specialized software. We're currently experimenting with a free software package that will allow you to create your designs, with fonts included, and convert them to PES format. Stay tuned for more information about this.
