Q1: What kind of needle is best for this design?
Pro Tip: For most fabrics, a standard 75/11 or 80/12 embroidery needle is a great choice for this pattern. If you decide to use metallic threads for the colorful lights, be sure to switch to a specialized metallic needle to prevent shredding.
Q2: What type of stabilizer should I use?
For stable fabrics like quilting cotton or canvas, a medium-weight tear-away stabilizer works well. If you are stitching your project on a stretchy knit or fleece, use a cut-away stabilizer to prevent the fabric from puckering.
Q3: How do I get embroidery files onto my machine?
It's simple! First, download and "unzip" the main folder on your computer. Next, find the specific file format your machine uses (like .PES or .JEF) from the list. Finally, copy just that one file onto your USB stick and plug it into your machine.
Q4: How should I care for my embroidered item?
Quick Note: To keep the stitches looking great, wash your item in cool water using a mild detergent. We recommend you either air dry the finished piece or tumble dry it on a very low heat setting to protect the embroidery.
Q5: How can I stop myself from buying a design twice?
Yes, dear! Our system helps prevent that. As long as you are logged into your account, you will see a red message saying "You have already bought this product!" if you go to a page for a design you own, and the 'Add to Cart' button is replaced with a download link.
