      Children of the World Designs

      Requires EQStitch software. The Children of the World collection includes 20 different embroidery designs in all file formats. The designs are linear designs with a triple stitch edge.

These designs are created to fit into a 75 x 150mm (3 inch x 6 inch) stitch field, but feel free to make them whatever size you want.

      You must have the EQStitch plug-in to install this product. It will not work with EQ7 alone.
