Embroidery Library
began in 2001 as a small project within a custom embroidery
company located near Minneapolis, Minnesota. The idea was to
create a few stock embroidery designs for sale on a fledgling
website, when home embroidery machines were first becoming
widely available. The success of those first designs changed
the business model of the entire company and we have never
looked back. Today we are a leader in the embroidery design
market with more than 150,000 unique designs for sale.

The company has
been 100% owned by its employees since 2006. This means that
our entire team brings the passion and purpose of ownership to
work with them each and every day. We are all focused on the
same goal, which is to delight you with the originality,
quality and variety of our designs. We are a creative design
company and we love sharing the creative journey with you. |

Our design
planning process begins with a unique design concept. Next,
each design is drawn by an artist in our company. We then
digitize each design size, sew it out and test it extensively
before we put it on our website for sale. If a design doesn’t
pass our quality control checks we don’t sell it, period. You
might be amused at the lengths we go to in order to perfect
designs, but it is no laughing matter to us. We want to be
certain that home stitchers will achieve the same results that
we do.

The strength of
our product is our team. We have many decades of on-the-job
experience among our artists and digitizers, but literally
every single employee-owner has a unique and important role in
bringing you the designs you find on our website.
We enjoy working
with each other, we laugh often, and we love seeing our
designs come to life through your creations shared on social
media and contributed to the Stitchers Showcase. |

In 2008, looking
to explore new creative directions, we introduced
Urban
Threads as a home for modern, bohemian, and unexpected machine
embroidery designs.
|
|
In 2018 we
introduced
Craft Genesis in response to the growing popularity
of cutting machines. Our contemporary design files are
engineered to deliver maximum impact with minimal effort for
crafters working with vinyl, cardstock, fabric, wood, and
leather. |
