I absolutely loved the cowboy hat. I had a craft show coming up at a horse rescue farm. This looked like the perfect time to put it on…

My eagle turned out great, next time I need to use a better background color. I thought it would pop out more on a denim jacket. Great quality…

Q1: Does natural fabric like cotton need pre-washing?
Yes, dear! Before you begin A Prayer For My Dad, go ahead and pre-wash your natural fibers like cotton or linen. This step shrinks the fabric before you sew, so your final project stays smooth.
Q2: How do I handle the color changes?
The provided color chart for this design is just your guide. Since the file is set up with specific stops, your home machine will automatically pause whenever it is time to swap threads.
Q3: Which file formats come with my purchase?
Your download includes a folder with all common industry formats like PES, JEF, DST, VP3, and more. Use the specific format required by your embroidery machine model to ensure smooth results.
Q4: Where can I find the full download pack?
After you buy A Prayer For My Dad, just head to your account page. Click the blue download button on the product page to grab the entire ZIP file containing every available size and format.
Q5: What is the difference between trims and stops?
Quick note: Trims are the number of times your machine cuts the thread between sections, while stops simply mark where you need to change your thread color to achieve the final design look.
