Library, Inc. ("Embroidery Library," "we"
or "us") is an employee-owned company. All of
the designs that you see on our website at

us, or on rare occasions, by our guest artists. We own all of
the Designs.
By accessing this

When you download
and/or purchase a Design, the Design remains the property of

allows you -- and only you -- to use the Design in a variety of
ways, including:

for machine embroidery,
- Use on
products made in an embroidery machine that you offer for
sale at craft shows, craft fairs or through personal or
peer-to-peer e-commerce websites;
- Use on
products you donate to charity; and
- Use on
products you give as gifts.
You are allowed to
edit the Design in any manner that you choose, but Embroidery
Library will own the copyright in the edited design file. The
edited design file cannot be distributed, shared or sold and
is subject to the same restrictions as our original Designs.
If you are a
business or organization purchasing our Designs, you need to
purchase one copy of the Design for each person who uses the
Design.
You may not use
our Designs or other copyright protected property for any
purpose other than as specified above without our express

family member wants one of our Designs, please have him/her
come to our site to buy a license for the Design.

are prohibited:
- Selling,
sharing, gifting, transferring, distributing, passing down
as inheritance, or re-selling in any manner the Design
