Q1: Should I pre-wash my fabric?
Yes, dear! While our embroidery thread won't shrink, natural fabrics like cotton and linen will. Pre-washing prevents the fabric from pulling at the stitches later. This is important for any project you make.
Q2: What does "Light Density" mean?
Pro Tip: It means the stitches are not packed tightly together. This creates a softer, more flexible finish and allows the fabric color to show through slightly, giving the art a beautiful effect. For the Starry Night Blue Whale, this helps create depth.
Q3: How do I get the file onto my machine?
Download the ZIP folder to your computer, "unzip" or extract the files, and then copy the specific format your machine requires onto a USB stick. It's a simple process to get your digitized pattern ready.
Q4: What stabilizer should I use?
For most stable fabrics, a medium-weight cut-away or tear-away works best. Use cut-away for stretchy fabrics or high-detail patterns, tear-away for stable wovens like denim, and a water-soluble topping on fuzzy fabrics to keep stitches from sinking.
Q5: How do I transfer just a specific file format?
Quick Note: In your "Account Downloads" section, click "DOWNLOAD FORMAT" next to the design, and then select your specific file type (e.g., .PES or .JEF) from the dropdown menu. This makes it easy to get just what you need for your embroidery project.
