About These Free Embroidery Files
This page contains a growing collection of free embroidery files for machine embroidery.
All designs are provided as digital files for free.
The collection is built step by step. New embroidery files are added regularly,
and existing designs may be improved over time based on real stitching feedback.
Supported Embroidery File Formats
Each embroidery design is available in multiple file formats to support a wide range of embroidery machines.
- PES
- DST
- EXP
- HUS
- JEF
- VIP
- VP3
- XXX
All embroidery files are tested in PES format on a Brother Innov-is NV880E embroidery machine before release.
Other file formats are generated from the original design.
Feedback from users stitching in formats other than PES is highly appreciated.
Testing & Quality Notes
The embroidery files are tested on real fabric, not only in preview software.
Because machines, threads and fabrics vary, results may differ slightly depending on your setup.
