3. Find & Download Your Designs
- Browse the Stitch Vault. Look around freely — no account needed to search and explore designs.
- Sign in. To add a design to your cart, you’ll need to be signed in (passwordless — email + 6-digit code, or Continue with Google or Shop).
- Add to Cart & check out. There’s no charge — designs are included with your membership. Complete the free ($0) checkout; the design counts toward your monthly member or freebie allowance.
- Get your files. Click My Orders at the top of the site, then open All My Designs — searchable by design name or order number.
- Download anytime. Click ↓ Download next to any design. Your files never expire — re-download them whenever you need, as many times as you like.
Each design in All My Designs is labeled FREE (a freebie) or MEMBER (one of your monthly member designs), so you always know what counted against your allowance.
4. File Formats — Works With Your Machine
Every design comes in all standard machine embroidery formats, so it’s ready for your machine right out of the box:
Compatible with Brother, Baby Lock, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking, Singer, Melco, Tajima and other standard embroidery machines. Download, copy to a USB drive or send to your machine, and stitch.

7. The Member Showcase
The Member Showcase is our public directory of embroidery businesses run by EDC members. Anyone can browse it to discover and support real stitchers — no account needed.
- Browse freely. Visit the Member Showcase to see approved member businesses — open to everyone, members and guests alike.
- List your business. Getting listed is a free perk for Crafter, Stitch Pro and Stitch Master members. Open the showcase and tap Add Your Business.
- Fill out your profile. Add your business name, a short description of what you offer, a photo and your links.
- We review & publish. Our team approves each listing before it goes live, so the directory stays high-quality.
Freebie members and logged-out visitors can browse the showcase but can’t create a listing — upgrade to Crafter or higher to add your business.
