What do I get when I buy a design?

When you buy a design off our website, you will get a number of things. Each design is multi-formatted and comes complete with a colour chart (if more than one colour).

Formats include: .jef, psw, xxx, art, pes, hus, vip, vp3 and pcs

Certain designs such as washaway or appliqué also give instructions on how to achieve the technique.

Will all designs be available in all formats?

     No, All designs are not available in all formats because of smaller hoop sizes on some machines.
     All designs are available in the Hus format which most if not all computer programs can read,
     from here you can resize or split designs to suit the size of your embroidery hoop.
