How do I get an embroidery file? 🗎

  1. You can use the ones already stored in the machine, either alone or in combination.
  2. You can use purchased embroidery files.
  3. You can create your own files, for example using the free software Inkscape with the Inkscape-InkStitch plug-in.

💡 Attention (for points 2 & 3): You will need a USB stick (with a small storage capacity, as the embroidery machine has limited processing power). For point 3, it is also recommended to bring a laptop so you can edit the files on-site.
