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: Do I need a special needle?
Pro Tip: A 75/11 or 80/12 universal needle is usually the best choice for this design. If you are working on very thin fabric, a smaller needle works best to keep your stitches tidy.
Q2: Why is this called a Light Density design?
Quick Note: This means the stitching is kept open rather than packed tightly together, which helps the fabric color peek through. This style gives Horses Quilting a gentle, sketch-like appearance that avoids stiffness.
Q3: How can I download only the file format my machine uses?
Instead of downloading the full ZIP pack, you can log into your account and select your specific machine format from the dropdown menu found in the download section. This saves you from having to extract multiple unused files.
Q4: How do I locate a specific pattern later?
If you have a large library, use the search bar located in your account download section; you can type in the name of the pattern to find your files in seconds.
Q5: What stabilizer should I use for this project?
Yes, dear! For stable fabrics like cotton, a medium-weight tear-away stabilizer is the best choice. If you are embroidering on stretchy materials, switch to a cut-away stabilizer to prevent the pattern from shifting.
