How to Download and Extract Zip Embroidery Files from the Internet to Your Computer

In this video, I'm making an In The Hoop (ITH) machine embroidery zipper pouch with some cute gnomes on it from #UrbanThreads. In Part 1 of this process, I take you step-by-slow-step on how to download machine embroidery files from the internet, how to organize them on your computer, how to print them out, and how to manage thread colors.

I spent the entire day organizing my embroidery files, using your ideas and direction. I cannot tell you how much it's helped me wrap my mind around the file system. My files were all over the place, but not any more. They're organized and I hope to keep them in good order. Your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much.

Aw, shucks, 3 yrs ago for class. I am so very thankful to have found you. You truly are a great teacher!

Thank you so much. This is not in the manual with the machine and without this you are so limited. I too got about a 20 minute teaching session and have struggled trying to figure out how all this works so just started doing more quilting. There are not so many YouTube sites for instruction on embroidery. I think much comes because there are so many different machines. I will really start again working on more embroidery thanks to you.

I've been downloading for a few years and I still found this video helpful! Thank you.

How funny. I started a "how to embroider with the Solaris" video tonight. Someone asked for it. I'm not showing all that stuff you are doing. I just showed where I get my designs and how they keep them for you and you can download them forever. Very nice! I don't want to go through the zillion kinds of stabilizers either. I'll let you do that. (-:

OMG thank you so much. I purchased my embroidery machine, got about a 20 min walk thru and have been left to my own devices!! Great information!!

[denisehenkel]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m really happy you are taking your time to do these tutorials. I’ve been looking and reading about Embrilliance. Also, as I’m purchasing designs I want to store them appropriately on my computer and not have them all over the place. You are a treasure! Thank you!😎❤️

You are a fabulous teacher. Please keep making these instructional videos for embroidery. I appreciate that you show your goofs...(Uh Oh!). I know I will make all of those plus many more and seeing how you fix it is so important.

Thank you for this! I have a babylock journey, buy haven't even attempted to purchase any designs because I wasn't sure of the process. I feel a little better about trying it now. I'll be saving this video for reference.

Becky, I wish I had an embroidery machine! All this information is very helpful and clear. All one needs now is a hand that's not shaking to move and click the mouse ;P

i started with hand stitching leather projects to incorporating fabric and machine stitching, incorporating paracord projects, now incorporating embroidery... sooo much fun! ive only been "trying" to do the embroidery for a few days seems as tho the machine is only able to save a handful of transferred designs so i purchased a usb drive for more fun hope it werks cuz im having a blast lol tyfs

[tatianaquinonez]

[lauraruthruff]

Thank you for such a great tutorial!! I did purchase embrillance as well as the thumbnail program.. I'm starting to organize my patterns that I purchased so much easier. The company had the software on sale so it was a great decision for me.
