Sweet Pea Machine Embroidery Designs Design Files Disclaimer-

Please note to customers who use embroidery software to open our files. In doing so you may run the risk of the design not stitching as intended by our digitiser’s instructions.

We highly recommend that any design file purchased from us should be downloaded as per our “how to download our designs” instructions on our website, placed directly onto a USB/memory card and then placed directly onto the embroidery machine.

We will not be obligated to provide compensation to customers who have put our files through their software and the resulting stitch out was not intended.


To purchase and open your Sweet Pea files please follow the steps below.

Using Internet Explorer can result in failed/incomplete downloads, functions of the website not working (such as the Wishlist) as well as preventing you from logging in. We recommend using Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead if you run into any of these issues.

Step 1

Note if you don’t have the “Extract All…” option as shown above, instead you can go to “Open with…” and select “File Explorer”, you should have the “Extract all” option along the top of the Window:

13. Unable to find your File type listed?

We include every embroidery format except for .ART (Bernina machines can still use the .EXP files though).

A common issue for Windows computers is that their embroidery format is automatically associated with a certain program, meaning that it will appear different to the screenshot above for you. If you are unable to find your file type you can turn on “File name Extensions” in Windows Explorer, located within the View tab along the top.

This option will display the file names as seen below to help find the correct file:

  1. Have just ordered my second SweetPea design (applique) Have successfully downloaded the design but do not see where the instructions for stitching it out. My Jef color sequence shows the order of design stitchout but cannot locate any written instruction. I have done quite a bit of applique embroidery in the past, so do I just “wing it” with the sequence of stitching or are there actual written instructions. I purchased the “Girl Talk” design. Thank you for helping me out.

  2. I ordered the Leaf table center and Fridge handle wrap but can i get the instruction in english

  3. I have an Innovis 1500 Brother but an older machine it only has the inlet to fit it’s cord . Is there a way I can attach a USB to work on the machine ??
    These are wonderful designs and I would love to be able to do them

  4. Thank you for the information. I thought I had covered all my info, but will go back and check it out.
    Again, thank you.

  5. can’t find the 2nd email with my order for the freeie mug rug. I checked the SPAM folder. No ther. What should I do? Thanks

    • Please check the design description on he website. The freebie files are only available from the files section of our Facebook group 👍

  6. I’m not able to find the link for the cocktail mug rug. I’m assuming I did not get a link in my confirming email because it is a facebook item. I messaged thru facebook the other day, but have not rec’d a reply. Is this item still available for download? Thank you.

  7. I understand how to download a like, but I am unable to find the link for the free puppy little zippered purse.
