Sunflowers & Bees Embroidered Pieced Pillows
(to see lots of pictures click on the pictures below, then click on the picture again)
This collection of machine embroideries has been used to make embroidered designs on two sizes of pieced flanged pillows. There are two digitized designs to down load plus a seperate download is available for the Sunflowers & Bees Embroidered Pieced Pillows instructions.
If you want to make the project, you will also need the following: a 14"X14" (or a 12"X16") poly-fill pillow insert (make your own with Cluster Stuff for best results), a 1.5" button to cover
with fabric, 1 yard of fabric and one yard of craft weight interfacing for each pillow. Most of these items are available here and are listed below.
You can purchase the whole project or you can purchase a single downloadable design. You can even use designs from different projects in this collection to create your own unique embroidered design montage! If you want to see all of the Sunflowers & Bees designs together, they are shown on the Sunflowers & Bees Emboidery catagory page.
Each digitized embroidery design download comes with a printable template, stitch and thread color information, plus instructions for working with templates.

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.
