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: Should I wash my fabrics before I start?
Yes, dear! Embroidery thread stays true to size, but natural fabrics like cotton or linen will often shrink. Pre-washing ensures that your fabric does not pull at the stitches after you finish Forever Turtle Love.
Q2: What does light density mean for my sewing?
Pro Tip: This design features a light stitch density, which means the needle does not pack the thread tightly. This allows the base fabric to peek through, giving the pattern a soft, sketch-like appearance that stays flexible on your fabric.
Q3: How do I locate a design I bought earlier?
Quick Note: If you have many files, you can use the search bar in your Account Downloads section. Just type the name of the design or the product code to find what you need immediately.
Q4: Which stabilizer should I choose for this?
For most stable fabrics, a medium-weight tear-away works great. If you decide to sew this on something stretchy or thin, try a cut-away stabilizer instead to ensure the stitches remain smooth and crisp.
Q5: How do I move the files to my embroidery machine?
Download the ZIP file to your computer first. Unzip the folder to extract the files, then copy the format your specific machine requires onto a clean USB stick.
