Hot cocoa design questions
The quickest way to see what it does with your artwork is to try it. With a free account, digitizing and previewing cost nothing and take about a minute.
Is this design really free?
Yes. Create a free account and download it in any format, as often as you like. No plan or credit card is needed for the free designs.
Can I sell things I embroider with it?
Yes. You can stitch it on items for yourself, as gifts or to sell. Please don't resell, share or upload the design files themselves, or claim the design as your own.
Which file should I download?
PES for Brother and Baby Lock, JEF for Janome, EXP for Bernina, VP3 for Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff, XXX for Singer and DST for Tajima and most commercial machines. Not sure? Download the ZIP: it has every format plus a color sheet.
Will it fit my hoop?
It's 74 × 95 mm (2.91 × 3.74 in), so it fits a 4 × 4 in (100 × 100 mm) hoop and anything larger.
Can I make it bigger or smaller?
For small changes (up to about 20%), use the free design resizer. For bigger changes, press Customize: the artwork opens in the digitizer and the stitches are recalculated for any size, with new colors if you like.
