GUIDE
Get your file onto your machine
Five steps from download to the first stitch.
- 01
Pick the format
Find the extension your machine reads in the table below and download that file. Renaming a file does not change its format.
- 02
Check the size
Choose a size smaller than your hoop. If unsure, use “Print at actual size” on the product page and lay the template on the fabric.
- 03
Copy to USB
Copy the file to the top folder of an empty USB stick. Most machines read FAT32 sticks of 32 GB or less.
- 04
Load it on the machine
Insert the stick, open the file from the USB/memory menu on the screen and confirm the hoop size.
- 05
Stitch a test
Before the real item, test on a similar fabric with suitable stabiliser behind it.

Check your machine's manual to be sure; some models read more than one format.
Common issues
- If the file will not open, try another format (for example DST instead of PES).
- If you downloaded a ZIP, unzip it on a computer first; machines cannot read ZIP files.
- Colour order may look different on the machine; pick thread colours from the preview.
- If it still fails, write to us with your machine model.
