This article is an attempt to educate embroidery machine owners on what to watch for in a knock-off design.

Creating a Monogram

Our Monogram Sets consist of individual files for each letter of the alphabet. In many cases there are two included sizes, which makes it easy to create two and three-letter combinations by combining the appropriate letters from large and small sizes. Read a step by step guide for creating monograms. See the results of our Rules of Monogramming focus group for letter placement.

Formats Supported

1.We are a small company, and made the decision some time ago that we could not afford to retool our product line each time a machine manufacturer creates a new embroidery format.

2. We support 7 different formats. This means that our products are compatible with all home and commercial embroidery machines. Some machine types may require the user to convert the designs within their embroidery software program as they are used. Some users, particularly home embroiderers, may require additional software to transfer designs from their computer to a blank memory card.

No Embroidery Machine?

Our designs are digitized for embroidery. They are software files for computerized home and commercial embroidery machines. While most embroidery software programs will allow you to print an image of the design, this image is generally useful as a visual reference for embroiderers, and probably isn't suitable for use on stationery or as a stencil for home decoration without considerable "tweaking" in a full-featured graphics program. Our design aren't available as patterns, stencils, True Type fonts, or in any other form. For those interested in purchasing an embroidery machine, this section includes much information to help you with your purchase.

The word "Downloading" is frequently misused. The term refers to the process of transferring a file from our internet website to your computer.

All of our products come to you as multi-format installation files. They include an "Installation Wizard" which goes through a series of installation screens. This process is "installing", not "downloading".
