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: Which needle size is best for this design?
Pro Tip: Use a standard 75/11 or 80/12 universal embroidery needle. If you are working on a thinner fabric, switch to a smaller needle to keep your stitches crisp.
Q2: What type of stabilizer should I use?
For most projects with this pattern, a medium-weight cut-away stabilizer works best to support the stitch count and keep the fabric from shifting under the needle.
Q3: Can I change the size of the embroidery?
Quick Note: We suggest avoiding resizing this design by more than 10%. Scaling it beyond that can negatively affect the light density and overall quality of the final result.
Q4: How should I care for my finished piece?
Yes, dear! Wash your item in cool water using a gentle detergent. When ironing, always press from the back side and use a cloth to protect the threads from direct heat.
Q5: How do I access my files after checking out?
