Ordering, Payments & Downloads

How do I receive my files after I complete a purchase?

Your digital products are available for instant download immediately after your payment is successfully processed. You have three easy ways to access them:

1. On the Order Confirmation Page: A download link will appear on your screen right after you pay.
2. Via Email: We will send a confirmation email to the address you provided at checkout. This email contains a secure link to download your files.
3. In Your ABDigitizing Account: This is the most reliable method. All your purchased files and courses are permanently stored in your personal account area. Simply log in and navigate to the “Downloads” or “My Courses” section at any time.*

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (securely processed by PayU Latam) and PayPal. All prices displayed on our website are in US Dollars (USD).

Is it safe to use my credit card on your site?

Yes, your security is our top priority. Our website uses industry-leading payment processors that utilize tokenization. This advanced security measure means your full credit card number is sent directly to their secure servers and is never stored on our website. We only receive a secure, non-usable “token” to confirm the payment, ensuring your financial data remains private and protected.

I didn’t receive my download email. What should I do?

First, please check your spam, junk, or promotions folder in your email client, as automated emails can sometimes be filtered. If you still cannot find it, the best solution is to log into your account on our website, where all your purchased files are permanently and securely stored for you to access.


About Our Embroidery Designs

What file formats are included with each design?

To ensure broad compatibility with nearly every embroidery machine on the market, each design is delivered in a single .zip file that contains all of the following formats: DST, PES, EXP, HUS, JEF, VIP, VP3, and XXX.

How do I open the .zip file to get my design formats?

You must “unzip” or “extract” the main .zip file on your computer to access the individual format files. Most modern computers have this capability built-in. Simply right-click on the .zip file you downloaded and select an option like “Extract All” or “Unzip”.

Can I resize the designs?

We strongly advise against resizing or modifying the designs. Each design is meticulously digitized for a specific size to ensure perfect stitch quality, density, and detail. Altering the size, even slightly, can severely compromise the final stitch-out. We are not responsible for the quality of a design that has been edited or altered by the customer.

Am I allowed to sell physical items I make with your designs?

Yes, absolutely! The license you purchase allows you to stitch our designs onto physical products (like t-shirts, hats, bags, etc.) and sell those finished items. However, the license strictly prohibits you from reselling, sharing, trading, or distributing the digital embroidery file itself in any capacity.

Technical Troubleshooting & Stitching Issues.

My design isn’t stitching out perfectly (e.g., gaps, thread breaks, puckering). What can I do?

A high-quality stitch-out depends on a combination of a great design file and the right technique. If you face issues, 99% of the time it can be solved by checking these three things:

1. Stabilizer: This is the most common cause. Ensure you are using the correct type and weight of stabilizer for your fabric. A medium-weight cut-away stabilizer is often a great starting point for knit fabrics like t-shirts.
2. Hooping: Make sure your fabric is hooped tightly and smoothly, like a drum. Loose hooping will cause shifting and gaps.
3. Machine Settings: Check that your machine has a new, sharp needle appropriate for your fabric, and that your thread tension is correctly set.

If you have checked all of the above and the issue persists, please contact our support team with a photo of the issue.

Which file format should I use for my machine?

Here is a quick guide to the most common machine brands. Always refer to your machine’s manual for the final word.

Brother, Baby Lock, Deco: .PES
Janome, Elna, Kenmore: .JEF
Husqvarna, Viking: .HUS or .VP3
Pfaff: .VP3
Tajima, Commercial Machines: .DST
Melco: .EXP
Singer: .XXX or .DST

My embroidery machine says the file is “corrupt” or “unreadable.” Is the file broken?

This is almost always a file transfer issue, not a problem with the design file itself. Please try these steps:

1. Re-download the .zip file from your account to ensure it wasn’t corrupted during the first download.
2. Use a high-quality USB stick and ensure it is formatted correctly for your machine.
3. Try transferring only the single file format you need to the USB stick, not the entire folder.
