Hello!
I designed (and digitized) all of the machine embroidery designs offered here (along with all the Sewing Whimsies and the sewing patterns & projects). I got into digitizing embroidery so that I could embellish my projects. The digitizing is somewhat addictive, I confess. Evidently, I have a knack for it. So anyway, I do hope you enjoy the designs. Please check back often as I have a lot of new projects and embroidery designs in the works! So many ideas, so little time.... They just keep coming to me when I least expect it.

I am really excited about my process that I have devised to work with templates! Please take a look at the "Embroidery Tips" information above to read more about it. I include additional tips for successful embroidering with many of my downloads and CDs. If you like this way to work with templates, you can easily make your own templates for other embroidery designs in your embroidery library. A bonus of working with this template placement method is that it makes combining designs together to make large advanced embroidery designs easy!
Each digitized embroidery design is set up so that you can also use the more traditional method of marking the center of the design for placements if you prefer to work with the other method. The first and last digitized stitches are in the center of each design.
All downloaded instructions are in pdf format. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open them. Click on the link on the left of the page to get it for free. Go to the collection of your choice by clicking on the pictures above for more information. Detailed instructions for how to download are provided below.
Happy Stitching!

Follow these instructions for organizing your downloaded files so that the instructions, templates, and thread color information are kept together with the correct digitized design:
1. Purchase the file of your choice. All of the embroidery file formats (EXP, HUS, DST, EMD, JEF, PEC, PES, VIP, XXX) are included in each download. Click the "download files" button. The file will download to your desktop (or where you specify). It will be marked by the bird embroidery scissors icon. Right click on the icon, choose "Send To" then "My Documents".
2. Go to "My Documents". Create a new folder called Susa Glenn Designs (or whatever you please) where you keep your embroidery designs so that you will have a place to keep all of your Susa Glenn Designs embroidery files together. This will come in handy later as many of these designs can be used together to make larger designs.
3. Find the new download in My Documents. It is probably near the bottom of the list, but it could be alphabetized. Click to highlight it and drag and drop it into the folder where you want to keep Susa Glenn Designs downloads.
4. Open the folder where you just put the file and find it again. Double click on it to open it. Click "run". Allow the files to go into the default folder. Click "unzip". Click "close". The folder with the default name will appear in the same folder and all of the downloaded files will be inside it. You can then delete the original download file to save on computer memory. You can also delete the machine files that are in formats that you do not want.
