Adorable reindeer in Hot Chocolate Embroidery Design | FineryEmbroidery

After purchasing an embroidery design and downloading it, the file will likely end up in your Downloads folder. You can leave it there.

The file you download is usually in ZIP format. If you're not familiar with ZIP files, they're essentially compressed packages containing multiple files. To access the contents, you need to "unzip" the file first. Your embroidery machine won't be able to read the ZIP file until it's unzipped!

Unzipping a ZIP file is straightforward. On a Mac, ZIP file extraction is built-in. Just double-click the ZIP file, and a folder will be created with all the contents inside. On a PC, try double-clicking the ZIP file. You'll likely be prompted to extract the files. Once confirmed, a folder will be created with the contents inside. If nothing happens when you double-click the zip file, you may need to install a zip file extractor program.

Once you've extracted the ZIP file and started exploring the folders, you'll notice different files formats in each folder. This is because we offer designs in various formats to accommodate different embroidery machines. You'll need to locate the files compatible with your embroidery machine.

After unzipping the file, you can move the files to your hard drive or flash drive.

To transfer the embroidery design to the flash drive, you'll first need to locate the flash drive. When you plug it into your computer, it appears as another hard drive. On a PC, look under "My Computer" to find it listed. On a Mac, you'll see the flash drive listed as a location on the left-hand side of the Finder window. Simply drag and drop the embroidery files you need onto the flash drive.
