Machine Embroidery Designs at Embroidery Library!

Which format should I choose?

A "format" is the language that an embroidery machine can read. If you're not sure which format your machine uses, check your machine's user manual, or with the person that sold you the machine, or the company that makes your machine. You can also order the Free Designs, download those in multiple formats, and test the different formats in your machine to see which works best.

Below is a partial (and growing!) list of machine makes and models, and the formats that we recommend.

If you do not see your machine listed here, that means that we do not have that information available. When you find out the format that your machine uses, send an email to stitch@emblibrary.com with your machine type and the format, and
we will gladly update this page.
