We're passionate about the art of creating embroidery designs, and believe it shows in our work.  You'll never see clip-art style designs here.  We draw and digitize all of our designs, and don't quit until we're satisfied that they are of high quality.

Some of our more popular designs include: Baby Quilt Blocks, 3D Snowflakes, Carousel Animals, Stuffed Animals, Butterfly Circles, Victorian Christmas, Cuddly Critters and Tribals.  Take a look...we're sure you'll find something you've really been wanting to sew.  If you're lacking in inspiration, check out our customer gallery where our designs have been put to creative use!

We always recommend embroidery forums to all of our customers.  They include a wealth of information when it comes to sewing and embroidery!  Two of our favorite forums are: Spools of Fun II, and the Sew Forum.

Important Read: Appliqué Information:  The first color block is an outline for placement of fabric.  The second color block is tack down of the fabric.  You should use the same color for both the first and second color block, and it should be the same color you plan to use for the satin column outline of the butterfly.  When placing the fabric for the appliqué, you may want to apply a spray adhesive to the back.  We found that we were able to simply lay the fabric flat without using a spray adhesive and it seemed to work fine.  After the tack down is sewn, you should stop your machine and cut away excess fabric.  Cut very close to the zigzag stitching, but do not cut through any stitches.  You may use appliqué scissors for this, or we found that small embroidery scissors work wonderfully.
