How does the download process work for machine embroidery designs?

Where do I get the design, "Techie," shown above?

We have added her to the bottom of our main Machine Embroidery page, under "Miscellaneous." You can also go straight to her here.

Where do I find a color chart(s)?

You will find a color chart(s) for your machine embroidery design(s) in the design's folder. For example, you will find Pinhead's color chart in the Pinhead folder located on your CD or in your download. The color chart is set apart from the other files in the folder by it's file name ending with "Printout.pdf." For example, "PinheadPrintout.pdf."

What do I do if I can't open a color chart?

We test all of our files before release and all of our color charts can be opened and printed with Adobe's Acrobat Reader. We do recommend having the latest version of the software - it isn't necessary, but we always recommend the latest. You can download if for free here.

How do I pronounce Loralie's name?

To set the record straight, Loralie has written the following poem. :-)

"I go by Lora-lie said I, not by Lora-lee,

Lora-lee is just not me, I go by Lora-lie said I."

Where can I see which thread shades are intended for these designs and check the order they will need to sew in?

This information can be found in our color charts.

Does LoralieDesigns.com work in all internet browsers?

Yes, we take great pride in that our Web site works across multiple browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Netscape and Chrome.

Where can I find information about thread conversion?

We suggest the following online sources:

When I open the embroidery file, why do the thread shades shown not match the Madeira shades listed on the printout?

DST and EXP files do not contain any color information - they just display in your programs default colors. Other formats such as ART, HUS, JEF and PES have a limited palette of colors that we can choose from for the display colors. Shades that exactly match the Madeira shades simply aren't available to choose from. Some embroidery programs such as Embird will create a second "palette" file to accompany each design that will hold the additional display information with exact thread shades, but they are specific to each program rather than being a universal file that all the programs will read.
