How do I print patterns off at home?

Members can print off patterns at home with just a few clicks! Our printable patterns are located at the bottom of pattern pages; if a project has a printable pattern, you will see a button at the bottom of the page below the additional project images. Click this button to download the pattern PDF. For clothing patterns that feature multiple sizes, we recommend downloading the free version of Adobe Acrobat to open the pattern, select your size, and print it off.

How do I turn layers off and on for graded patterns?

The majority of our clothing patterns are graded, meaning that you can select or de-select the sizes you need using the Layers feature in Adobe Acrobat. Please note that this feature is used for some of our clothing patterns, not all PDF downloads.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit the download button. Download, save, and open your clothing pattern in Adobe Acrobat. On the left side of the screen, select the Layers feature. Select/de-select the sizes you need by clicking on the size boxes desired.

How do I download machine embroidery patterns?

Unlike normal PDF pattern downloads, machine embroidery patterns will download in a ZIP file. Machine embroidery patterns must be downloaded to an actual computer, instead of a phone or tablet. Please read your embroidery machine manual prior to downloading to see what file format your machine requires, as different embroidery machine brands require different file formats.

To download your machine embroidery pattern ZIP file, hit the download button at the end of the pattern page. Unzip the ZIP file and select the pattern file that is compatible with your embroidery machine. Do not open this file on your computer! Instead, you will need to move the file to a USB stick.

How do I transfer machine embroidery patterns to a USB stick?

The easiest way to transfer a file to a USB stick is through copying and pasting. Select the appropriate files for your machine (hold down the Ctrl key for multiple files), right click, and select Copy. Insert the USB stick into the USB port of your computer. Find the USB stick on your computer, right click, and select Paste. You can now take your USB stick to your embroidery machine. Please follow your machine manual on how to select the pattern you wish to use.

Another way to transfer patterns is by sending them directly from your computer to your USB stick. With the USB stick inserted into your computer, select the files you wish to transfer (hold down the Ctrl key for multiple files), right click, and select Send To. Then select the USB stick as the file destination.

What is your continuous service policy?

Hassle-Free Automatic Renewal: To guarantee future savings, your membership will automatically renew and will continue uninterrupted. Unless you cancel, we will bill the credit card on file at the time of your renewal.

What is your cancellation policy?

You may easily cancel the automatic renewal of your membership at any time by logging into your account and clicking the “Disable Continuous Service” button. After your cancellation, you will still have full access to your membership until it expires. If you do not see the button, please contact customer service.

What is your refund policy?

You may request a pro-rated refund for the remaining months of your membership. Please check with your credit card company to determine if they have a time limit for processing a refund of a purchase.

If your credit card company does allow a refund, then the refund will be reimbursed by your original payment method. Once a refund is processed, you will no longer have access to your membership.

If your credit card company denies the refund, then we are unable to process a refund. However, we will cancel the automatic renewal of your membership, and you will still have full access until it expires.
