Wow, it’s mid-September and houses have been decorated for Halloween for at least two weeks now. When I was a kid, Halloween was just one evening long. (I’m 68 now, so it’s been a while.)

But I think the excitement of the Autumn season brings up a theme that we see all year round: monsters.

If you’ve looked around this site, you’ll see there are music-themed items here. Well, I want to start designing things with monster and sci-fi themes too.

So, I decided to start with creatures that don’t have copyright issues, like:

  • Bigfoot
  • Chupacabra
  • Moth Man
  • UFOs
  • Aliens from space
  • Slender Man
  • Ghosts
  • Loch Ness Monster
  • The Jersey Devil

There are many more I could add to this list, but I wanted to get started, so I decided to create a Nessie hat, based on the Loch Ness Monster.

How I Came Up With This Monster Themed Embroidery Design

I’m not very good at coming up with monster embroidery ideas, so I used Bing’s AI called “Copilot.” I can draw, but I’m not a professional, and I don’t have a lot of time.

I had previously crafted Bigfoot patches with Copilot’s help. So, I used Copilot again to help me with my monster-themed embroidery designs.

Sasquatch Patch from 
Ellistrations
Image of Sasquatch patch created by Copilot

This image gave me a template to start working on a Bigfoot patch I wanted to create.

The design was pretty detailed, so I ended up with something like this:

My digitized version of the “Squatch” patch

It wasn’t too big—around 11,000 stitches—but considering it will probably go on a hat, that doesn’t leave much room. (2 inches in circumference.)

Always Consider the Cost of Your Design

When creating any kind of embroidery, you must think about how much it will cost to make. 11,000 stitches is a lot for a hat, so I decided that if I’m going to sew the Squatch patch, I’ll charge a good price for it.

But I still wanted to make monster-themed designs for hats, so I decided to go minimalist with my designs.

Since I had black hats, I chose to use one color and sew white designs onto them. I went to Copilot AI and asked it to make a specific image for me.

“Can you make a black and white simple clip art image of a cup of coffee with steam coming out of the top?”

Sometimes you have to play around with AI to get the image you want.

Copilot’s rendering is on the left, and my digitized image is on the right.

Now, I had a digitized image for a hat that would easily fit and had around 3K stitches. Perfect!

My first embroidered minimalist design

Digitizing My Very First Monster -Themed Embroidered Hat

If you want to create your own monster-themed embroidery designs, here’s how I created mine.

I went to my trusted friend, Copilot, and asked it to make some simple black and white clip art images of the Loch Ness Monster.

As I mentioned earlier, you have to experiment with AI to get exactly what you need.

One thing I’d like to mention is that there are several different versions of Copilot online, each one slightly different. On my laptop, where I have Palette 11 software, I use a version connected to my Windows 11 operating system. On the lower right side, there’s an icon that looks like this:

I love having copilot on my Windows 11 O.S.

In the version I have on my computer, when you click on the little Copilot icon, a popup window appears so you can input your request.

You can also go to the webpage where Copilot is located and input your requests there to get the images you need. I think Bing is testing different versions of AI to see which one people use and like the most. But that’s just my guess.

I had a great idea!

Instead of creating a simple Nessie monster design, I decided to turn it into a craft beer label. If you go to Pinterest (another great place for embroidery designs) and search for craft beer labels, you’ll see thousands of amazing labels.

Since there are so many craft beer businesses out there, you’ll be amazed at all the creative names and labels on display.

So, when I asked Copilot to make me a black and white image of Nessie, I told it to create it as if it were a craft beer label. Here are a few of the types of images it produced:

Here are the Nessie Craft Beer labels that Copilot spit out.

Simplifying My Monster-Themed Embroidery Designs

These images seemed to be fun and dynamic, but I still needed something simpler.

I had another idea, wouldn’t a silhouette image be interesting too? I asked Copilot to create another Nessie craft beer label using only a silhouette of the beast.

Here is the transformation of the Nessie silhouette image into a craft beer label patch

Once the hat was sewn out, I was very happy with the results; it only took two colors and the thread count was under 4K stitches.

I was pleased with the results of my Nessie Craft beer hat, but would it sell?

I sewed the design out and the machine didn’t flinch for one second. That made me very happy because I now knew that my digitizing was completed correctly. Once that test was finished, I sewed it on the hat and everything went fine.

But Will My Monster Themed Embroidery Hat Sell?

This year, my wife and I had our first year at the local Farmer’s Market. We are not believers in starting big with businesses, and we like to start small.

There are two reasons for this:

  1. To see if we like doing it.
  2. To see what sells.

If you start big, you are under a lot of pressure. I know young families who start restaurants or stores, and they face tremendous pressure. It takes almost 5 years to make a brick-and-mortar business profitable.

My wife is so happy to be setting up at the Farmer’s Market! See the joy on her face?

So, we decided to sell mostly jams and jellies this year, along with some embroidered items. I embroidered a few designs on some items and put them out to see if they would sell.

Among the embroidered items, I had two Sasquatch hats and the Nessie craft beer hat. The farmer’s market events we attended were on Saturdays only and on the first 3 weeks I didn’t sell any embroidered items.

Selling the Monster-Themed Embroidery Designs

Farmers markets are harder to sell embroidered items at than craft fairs. The big advantage of a farmers market is that you’ll be there every week during the season selling your wares. Our number one selling items were my wife’s jams and jellies, which we sold a ton of. (We sold cases of that stuff each week.)

But you never know what will sell until you try it.

For weeks, I had Sasquatch hats that nobody looked at. Then one day, out of the blue, people bought two of them that I had sewn. I couldn’t believe it. A lot of the ideas I got for embroidering items came from websites I read before the season started.

Many of the sites, as well as Copilot’s AI, told me that the hottest selling hats would have local area codes on them. (Yep, you read that right—local area codes.) So, I sewed four of them, and only one sold.

But I sold all of my Squatch Life hats.

The lesson I learned here is not to sew too many designs until you’re sure you can sell them.

I only made one other monster-themed embroidery design, and that was the Nessie hat. As I put that hat on display, I said to myself out loud, “Man, there’s no way this crazy hat will sell.”

Ten minutes later, a young guy came up, looked at it, and said, “I love it!” And just like that, my first Nessie hat was gone.

Embroidery Lessons From the Crypt Keeper

Ok, you’ve read the good, the bad, and the ugly of how my first monster-themed embroidery designs adventure went. Now, let me give you a few pointers on how to make and sell your own.

Make Your Designs Simple

I digitize my own designs using Palette 11 software. I love this software because the interface is so easy and it doesn’t take a long time to figure out how to start creating designs. The real learning curve for me was learning how to properly digitize images. I took courses on how to digitize from taking John Deer’s Embroidery Legacy. One of the big lessons that I got from taking his program was that you have to plan out your designs. So, the designs I have are thought out and digitized in a way that will make the pattern flow from one section to the other with minimum thread cuts or jumps. This saves a lot of time and keeps the machine flowing smooth.

Test and Retest the Designs

Sew Out a Few

Learn to Sell

Conclusion

Creating monster-themed embroidery designs has been an exciting journey.

Starting with mythic creatures like Bigfoot, Chupacabra, and the Loch Ness Monster ensures that creativity flows without any copyright concerns. My first creation, a Nessie hat, has set the stage for many more unique designs to come. Stay tuned for more spooky and sci-fi themed embroidery, perfect for adding a touch of the extraordinary to any collection.

Happy stitching!

In the world of embroidery, the design is everything. It’s the heart and soul of your project, the blueprint that guides your needle and thread to create stunning works of art.

But where do you find these design files? And more importantly, how do you ensure they’re of the highest quality?

Not all embroidery design files are created equal. The way the design is planned and digitized can tremendously impact the look and the final sew-out.

So, if you’re considering buying designs, it’s crucial to know where to find the best embroidery design files and what to look for before investing your money.

In this post, we will not only explore the best places to buy embroidery designs but also delve into what you need to understand about designs before you purchase them.

Whether you’re looking for files to sew out a floral pattern on a denim jacket or to create a personalized gift for a friend, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s get started on this exciting journey!

machine embroidery design files

What are Machine Embroidery Design Files?

I understand that my audience is diverse, so please bear with me as I cover the basics. Whether you’re new to machine embroidery designs or a seasoned veteran, it’s always good to revisit the fundamentals.

Machine embroidery files are essentially a set of instructions for an embroidery sewing machine. These instructions are encoded in a digital format that the machine can interpret. While there are numerous embroidery file formats, they generally fall into three main categories:

Native File Format

This is the blueprint of the design and serves as the initial stage in converting an embroidery design into a digital image. This type is only readable by the digitizing software.

Expanded File Format

Expanded file formats include embroidery software with extensions such as .dst or .esp. These are a step up from the native file format as they are readable by embroidery machines. Expanded file formats contain more information that can be read by embroidery machines. However, not all embroidery machines can read all expanded file formats.

Each embroidery machine manufacturer typically uses a specific file format or a set of file formats that their machines can read. For example, Brother machines use .PES files, Janome machines use .JEF files, and Tajima machines use .DST files.

While expanded file formats are more universally readable by embroidery machines than native file formats, they are not universally readable by all machines. It’s important to know which file formats your specific embroidery machine can read.

So, it’s best to purchase files that are compatible with your specific machine. For instance, .pes files for Brother machines and digitizing software, or .exp files for Melco machines and products.

Machine-Specific File Formats

These are specific to different brands of embroidery machines. Examples include JEF, PES, HUS, and XXX for Janome, Brother, Husqvarna, and Singer, respectively. Here are some of the most widely used embroidery file formats:

DST (Tajima): DST, short for “Data Stitch Tajima,” is one of the most widely used embroidery file formats3.

PES (Brother): PES is the native file format for Brother embroidery machines.

EXP (Melco): EXP files are used with Melco embroidery machines.

JEF (Janome): JEF files are specific to Janome embroidery machines.

XXX (Singer): XXX files are associated with Singer embroidery machines.

EMB: This is the native design format for Wilcom’s Embroidery Studio and Hatch Embroidery.

Remember, not all embroidery files are readable by all embroidery machines. Different manufacturers use different languages to translate their designs into digitized embroidery files. These are known as embroidery file formats.

Considerations for Machine Embroidery Design Files

Before I provide a list of embroidery sites to explore, it’s crucial to consider several factors before investing in design files. The preliminary work involves understanding the type of embroidery you wish to create and the fabric or items you plan to embellish.

Consideration #1 – Design Use

The intended use of your embroidery design is a significant factor. For instance, designs for hats differ from those for shirts and towels.

If a design is primarily digitized for a hat, it will require different pull compensation than that for a polyester shirt.

Consideration #2 – Embroidery Design Complexity

The complexity of your design is another important aspect. For example, if you have an image of a cat wearing a coat with 50 different colors, consider the number of thread changes and cuts your machine will need to accommodate.

In addition to these considerations, you might also want to think about the size of the design, the type of stitches used, and the digitizing software compatibility.

Consideration #3 – Fabric Type

Consider the type of fabric on which you’ll be embroidering. Different fabrics, such as cotton, denim, and silk, may necessitate adjustments in stitch density and type. Also, there may be pull compensation problems you may want to consider before purchasing a design.

Consideration #4 – Your Machine’s Capabilities

Familiarize yourself with the capabilities of your embroidery machine. Certain designs may necessitate specific hoop sizes or stitch counts that your machine can accommodate.

Consideration #5 – Check the Quality and Detail

Examine the quality and level of detail in the design. High-quality digitized files result in cleaner, more professional-looking embroidery.

Consideration #6 – Stitch Count and Thread Cuts

Pay attention to the stitch count, number of thread cuts, and color changes. If you’re creating gifts for a group of people, you’ll want to minimize the number of color changes and cuts. If the stitch count is high, you might want to consider a design with fewer stitches.

These are just a few factors to consider when purchasing machine embroidery files. Now that we’ve discussed what to look for when buying, let’s explore the various online platforms where you can purchase these files.

The Best Places to Get Embroidery Designs

#1 John Deer’s Embroidery Legacy – My Personal Favorite

John Deer’s Embroidery Legacy is highly regarded in the embroidery industry for several reasons.

With over 60 years of embroidery excellence, John Deer’s Embroidery Legacy combines traditional embroidery wisdom with modern technology. The Deer family has been involved in machine embroidery for five generations.

They offer more than 30,000 embroidery designs. These designs are appreciated for their creativity, detail, and adaptability to various embroidery projects.

He has also developed the Design Doodler software, which allows users to transform their designs into stitches. This software is user-friendly and offers a variety of stitch types and editing options.

Legacy Embroidery places a strong emphasis on education. His YouTube channel provides valuable tutorials on topics like embroidery digitizing and essential techniques for embroiderers. This focus on education helps users not only use their designs but also understand the process behind creating them.

Users have expressed satisfaction with the quality of designs, the educational resources provided, and the user-friendly software.

My Personal Take on John Deer’s Embroidery Legacy

I was so happy to have found the Embroidery Legacy website, because for years I tried to learn how to properly digitize embroidery designs, and did not have a clear path to learning this skill.

I have taken at least 3 of his digitizing courses and they are excellent. Once you take these courses, not only will you know how to digitize much better, but you will also know what to look for in a design.

Two of the things you need to look for in a design are the under sewing and the number of jumps from one part of the design to another. John Deer’s designs have been meticulously planned so that the designs have the proper amount of under sewing and the least amount of thread cuts and jumps.

Not only that, but many of these designs are also digitized in a way that the stitches are sewn with the exact same millimeters in between each stitch. This means that your machine will have less stress on it and fewer thread breaks when sewing out the designs.

To sum it up, the quality of John Deer’s embroidery designs, the educational resources, and the innovative software contribute to the positive reputation of John Deer’s Embroidery Legacy in the embroidery community.

#2 Designs by Juju – A Treasure Trove of Embroidery Designs

I personally experienced the perfection of her work when I downloaded one of Konovalova’s complimentary designs. It’s evident that she has mastered the art of digitizing designs.

How can I assert this? Well, she provides an exceptionally detailed set of instructions to assist you in sewing out the design. In fact, I have yet to come across a site that offers such comprehensive instructions!

Here’s what I mean:

Royal Present Has a Treasure Trove of Embroidery Designs

The vast collection of designs covers a wide range of genres and themes. From sophisticated lace to playful animals, there’s a design for every project. Their dedication to diversity ensures that your creativity is limitless.

A Wealth of Knowledge on Embroidery Designs What I appreciate about this site is its effective use of blogging.

In conclusion, Royal Present Embroidery serves as a lighthouse of creativity, quality, and community in the embroidery world. Ludmila’s passion is evident in every stitch, inviting us all to delve into the artistry of thread.

#4 Urban Threads – Unique Embroidery Designs and Experience

Have you had the chance to explore Urban Threads? This innovative embroidery site stands out with its unique designs and creative project ideas. For instance, they offer projects that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also glow in the dark.

Their designs break away from traditional motifs, offering mandala-style images ranging from lions to mushrooms.

Urban Threads also offers cutting-edge patches with humorous statements like, “Don’t half-ass anything; use your whole ass.”

It’s a refreshing take on embroidery!

Their extensive collection of embroidery designs caters to both hand and machine embroidery enthusiasts. The style is distinctively edgy and unique, making browsing through their collection an enjoyable experience, even for those who aren’t particularly into embroidery.

But Urban Threads offers more than just designs. They provide a variety of tutorials for different projects, which can be beneficial even if you’re not specifically seeking embroidery-related content.

Don’t forget to check out their sales!

They offer stunning embroidery designs at discounted prices. Keep an eye out for their sales events. For example, they recently had a massive sale offering 65% off on regular-priced single designs.

One of the reasons I keep coming back to Urban Threads is their top-notch project tutorials. They also feature unique projects that I’ve never seen elsewhere.

For instance, while I make my own free-standing lace embroidered earrings, this site offers a tutorial on how to make embroidered leather ones.

In conclusion, if you’re in search of well-digitized and intriguing designs, Urban Threads is a must-visit. You won’t be disappointed!

Conclusion

The world of machine embroidery is vast and full of creative possibilities. With a plethora of online resources available, finding the perfect design for your next project has never been easier.

There are other very large sites online that offer a massive range of designs, from free samples to premium patterns.

However, more is not always better.  Personally, I would rather stick to companies that offer fewer and better digitized resources because they offer a personal touch to everything they do.

So, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced embroiderer, these platforms cater to all skill levels and design preferences. Remember, the key to a successful embroidery project lies not only in the design you choose, but also in the love and creativity you pour into every stitch.
