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: What's the best fabric for this design?
Stable fabrics like quilting cotton, denim, or linen work very well. Since the Flying Hummingbird is a 'Light Density' pattern, medium-weight fabrics are ideal because they let the fabric's own texture show through a bit without puckering.
Q2: What does 'Light Density' mean in embroidery?
Quick Note: It means the stitches are set farther apart. This creates a softer, more flexible embroidered piece and lets the color of your fabric peek through, giving the art a sketch-like appearance.
Q3: How do I get the files onto my embroidery machine?
It's simple! First, download the ZIP folder to your computer. Then, 'unzip' or extract the contents. Finally, just copy the file format that your machine needs onto a USB stick and you're ready to sew.
Q4: How should I wash items embroidered with this pattern?
Pro Tip: To keep the stitches on your Flying Hummingbird project looking fresh, wash it gently in cool water with a mild soap. It's best to air dry, but you can also tumble dry on a very low heat setting.
Q5: How do I know if I've already bought this design?
Yes, dear! Our shop helps you out. If you're logged into your account, the system will show a red message saying 'You have already bought this product!' on the page for the Flying Hummingbird pattern, so you won't accidentally purchase it again.
