Before you stitch
- You need an embroidery machine and compatible software. These are machine stitch files, not SVG cut files or hand embroidery patterns.
- Check the design size and hoop clearance on each product page against your machine before you buy.
- Run a test stitch on similar fabric with a suitable stabilizer before your finished piece.
