If you would like something stitched onto a product, please have the person doing the embroidery purchase the files. Our designs come in the following formats only:  DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PES, VIP, VP3 and XXX. We do NOT provide any other design formats.We will not forward purchased designs to any email address other than the one used to purchase the designs.

DESIGN SHARING POLICIES

Our digitized embroidery designs, either purchased or free designs that are downloaded, MAY NOT be sold, traded, shared, given away, or included in any design set.  This includes purchasing with the intent to copy and share with your family or friends.  You may not use ANY portion of our design or our exclusive artwork as a basis to create a new design and call it your own. Many hours have gone into these patterns to bring you unique, high-quality designs at affordable prices. Please respect our work.Please note that we will not respond to emails with order issues in which two parties split the purchase with the intent of sharing designs.

We reserve the right to immediately and without notice terminate repeat and future downloading abilities to any account holder who is known to be sharing designs.

The designs and all copyrights therein belong to Garden of designs (SC LIBELULLE SMART ART SRL). and are protected under international copyright laws.

USING OUR DESIGNS ON ITEMS FOR SALE

Our designs MAY be stitched on items to be sold as long as they are not mass-produced (i.e., hiring someone else to sew the designs or sewing them on a production line). As long as only the individual purchaser sews the designs, there is no limit to the amount of times you may stitch them on items for sale. Designs used on items for sale must be purchased.

FREEBIES: You may NOT use our free designs on items for sale. You must purchase the designs if you are going to make a profit.We encourage the use of our designs to be stitched on items you sell!
