About Stitch Design Files: Premium Embroidery Designs for Every Creator

Since 2018, Stitch Design Files has been dedicated to creating professional-quality embroidery designs that bring creative visions to life. Founded by embroidery enthusiast and digitizing expert Maria Chen, our mission is simple: provide embroiderers with exceptional designs that stitch perfectly, every time. With over 3,500 unique embroidery designs created and more than 75,000 satisfied customers worldwide, we’ve built our reputation on technical precision, creative excellence, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

Our Story: From Passion to Profession

Stitch Design Files was born from founder Maria Chen’s 15-year journey in the embroidery industry. After years of working with commercial embroidery shops and noticing a gap in the market for high-quality, professionally tested digital designs, Maria established Stitch Design Files in Maricopa, Arizona. What started as a small collection of custom designs has evolved into a comprehensive library serving hobbyists, small business owners, and professional embroiderers across the globe. Our growth reflects our commitment to innovation, quality, and listening to our customer community.
