- First download the ZIP file
- Locate it on your computer
- Open it
- Extract the files
- Save them to wherever you keep your embroidery designs.
- The ZIP file you originally downloaded can then be deleted.Then when you are ready, open the unzipped design in your embroidery program, or send it to your machine for stitching out.
How to Unzip:
- Locate your downloaded zipped file and double click on it.
- When your files have been extracted, which only takes a moment, you can navigate to the the folder you extracted them to, and you will see the embroidery file and PDF file inside.
