This free Japanese Family Crest Bird download is an example of the group of my Japanese Family Crests that are available here. I think that these single color designs are very effective stitched out in almost the same color as your chosen fabric. The results look as though the design was embossed. Lovely. However, this subtle effect is almost impossible to photograph. These designs are a great choice for embellishing bags. All of these crests have been  evaluated and perfected by stitching them onto quilt weight cotton batik as shown to the left.

PLEASE NOTE! ALL OF THE FREE DESIGNS COME WITH BASTING RECTANGLES. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please read the free tutorial here. Please remember to start stitching with the second thread color. I realize this sounds a little crazy, but different embroidery machines behave differently so in order to be sure that the basting rectangle will work properly on all home embroidery machines I have to digitize a starting color that is not used. It's complicated.

This download includes the following file formats: HUS, DST, EMD, JEF, PEC, PES, VIP, XXX. This design is in one color, has 16,598 stitches, and measures 4"X4".  This design is available for sale in three sizes here.


I bundle my embroidery designs with pdf files of instructions and paper templates for printing. All of the different embroidery file formats are included in the download (just delete the ones you don't want to keep - right click on the ones you don't want, then click "delete"). Because many people cannot unzip zipped folders, I go through an extra step to create a .EXE file from the zipped folder. A .EXE file automatically opens when you double click on it. Computers give a warning before they open a .EXE file because it is going to open when you click on it. All of my .EXE files are virus free.
