Here are the steps to order a downloadable embroidery pattern from our AccuQuilt.com website and how to access the downloaded pattern:

First log into your online account. If the embroidery patterns are FREE, simply click the green ADD TO DOWNLOADS button on the item page. If there is a charge for the pattern, once your method of payment has been billed you will have access to the pattern.

1. Sign into your online account

2. Click on MY ACCOUNT

3. Click on MY DOWNLOADS

4. Next insert your USB (thumb drive) into your computer, click on the underlined name of the embroidery file, and follow the below instructions.

5. Save the downloaded file to a USB (thumb drive)

6. Insert the USB into the embroidery machine

7. When you add a new pattern or embroidery pattern to your downloads, it will go the very last page of your downloads list.

(You will NOT be able to open the file on your computer as these types of files can ONLY be opened on an embroidery machine. Please make sure you are saving the correct format for your embroidery machine.)
