With the embroidery download is it an actual design or do I need to do anything to it cross stitch wise. I guess after typing this all out it sounds kind of silly, I mean why would you have to do anymore to it if the machine embroiders the design. Ohwell I will post anyway.

I hope to try and make my very first advent calendar this year!

I love cross stitch designs and have used several with no problems. I have stitched them on cotton and sweatshirts and they were beautiful. My machine does a great job, with no issues. Try one and see how you like it.

It's a good question, as the cross stitch designs usually stitch out more slowly, b/c of the denseness (?) and detail of the design. What appears to be a little design may take a long while to stitch out, but the results (especially from this site) are well worth the extra time.
