What You See Is What You Stitch

We believe in creating embroidery designs the old-fashioned way — with real stitching, careful attention to detail, and a real embroidery machine.

Every design is hand-digitized and stitched by me on my own embroidery machine before it becomes available in our shop. This means the embroidery you see in our samples is a true representation of what our designs are created to produce on your machine.

Our photographs may occasionally use a digitally created or enhanced setting to help showcase a project beautifully, but the embroidery itself is always real.

Want to see our designs being stitched? Head over to our Facebook or Instagram pages, where you'll find a variety of video clips showing my embroidery machine stitching many of our latest designs. It's a wonderful way to see the designs come to life, stitch by stitch.

And don't forget to visit our blog, where we share photos of beautiful projects made by our customers using aStitch aHalf designs. Seeing what other stitchers create is one of our favourite parts of embroidery — and hopefully it will inspire your next project too.

When you download a design from aStitch aHalf, you're getting the actual embroidery design used to create the stitched samples you see on our website — ready for you to stitch, personalise and turn into your own masterpiece.

No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just real embroidery, tested and stitched with care.
