Q1: Does fabric need to be washed first?
Yes, dear! Natural fibers like cotton and linen will shrink, but the thread won't. Pre-washing your fabric prevents the stitches from puckering after the item is washed later on.
Q2: Can I resize this embroidery pattern?
Quick Note: We recommend not resizing this character design by more than 10%. Making it much bigger or smaller will change the stitch density and can ruin the final quality of the artwork.
Q3: What embroidery file formats are included?
Your download comes in a ZIP folder containing all major formats: DST, PES, JEF, HUS, VP3, EXP, XXX, and ART. These files are compatible with Brother, Janome, Bernina, and most other machines.
Q4: How do I iron the finished embroidery?
Pro Tip: Always iron from the reverse side of the fabric. For best results, use a pressing cloth between the iron and your project to protect the threads from direct heat.
Q5: I just paid. Where are my files?
They are available immediately in your account. Just log in and click the "Download" icon next to the design, or you can select "My Downloads" from the main menu.
