The Magnificent Free Embroidery Bundle
Twenty designs in one free download, in SEW, VIP, VP3, XXX, CSD, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PEC and PES. The fastest way to fill an empty design folder.
Free Machine Embroidery Designs You Can Download Today
16 machine embroidery designs that cost nothing — no subscription, no trial, just download and stitch. Most of them are hand-digitized, every one comes in the usual formats (PES, DST, JEF, EXP, HUS, VP3, XXX and more), and the hoop size is listed so you know what fits before you download. A Creative Fabrica account is all you need.
One honest note before the list
Creative Fabrica's catalog mixes two things: designs that are free to everyone, and designs that are "free with All Access" — meaning they come with a paid subscription. Everything on this page is the first kind: I checked the listed price on every product page before putting it here.
I Love My Paw
Seven sizes from 2x2 to 8x7, 1,578 to 10,251 stitches. Tiny enough for a collar tag, big enough for a dog bed cover.
Cute Bird
4x4 hoop, 4,435 stitches, six colors. Twenty minutes on a towel or a kid's shirt pocket.
Baby Elephant
4x4 hoop, 12,590 stitches. The baby shower gift that doesn't need a pattern to go with it.
Cute Peacock
Two sizes, 3x4 and 6x6, 9,925 and 14,479 stitches. Dense enough to show off what your machine can do.
Happy Fall Gnome
Three sizes up to 6x7, 22,631 to 32,091 stitches. The seasonal freebie worth grabbing before October.
Skeleton Hands
3x4 hoop, 4,019 stitches. A quick Halloween design for pockets, sleeves and tote bags.
Hope Retro
Retro lettering in five sizes from 2x4 to 4x6, 10,744 to 18,778 stitches. The one word that fits a sweatshirt front, a tote or a pillow band.

Five Hearts
A row of five hearts in 4x4, 6x6 and 7x8, 4,526 to 12,319 stitches. Works as a border, a pocket accent or a full pillow front.
Stars Embroidery Design
Five sizes starting at 2x1 and 708 stitches. The smallest design on this page — collars, cuffs, kids' socks, anywhere a big design won't go.
Leaves
4x8 hoop, 13,470 stitches, single color. Long and narrow, made for towel borders and table runners.
Lavender
5x5 hoop, 19,906 stitches. Soft satin work that looks far more expensive than free.
Flores
3x7 hoop, 7,721 stitches. A slim floral strip for sleeves, cuffs and bag panels.
Butterflies and Flowers
8x11 hoop, 18,489 stitches, six colors. The biggest free design here — a pillow front on its own.
Princess
3x4 hoop, 6,407 stitches. Small, quick and exactly what a four-year-old wants on a t-shirt.
Fairy
5x4 hoop, 10,429 stitches. Pairs with the princess design for a matching set.

FAQ
Do I need to pay for these?
No. Every design on this page downloads for free. You do need a Creative Fabrica account, which is also free.
What's the catch with "free with All Access"?
That label means the design is included in the paid subscription, not free to everyone. It's a different thing, and nothing on this page carries that label.
Which file format do I need?
Brother and Babylock machines use PES, Janome uses JEF, Tajima and most commercial machines use DST, Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff use HUS and VP3. These designs come with all of them.
Can I sell what I stitch from a freebie?
Creative Fabrica states that every download and purchase includes their commercial license. Check the license note on the product page before you sell — it's shown on each one.
Some links on this page are affiliate links. The free designs stay free; if you later subscribe through one of my links, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
