How it works
- Add your picture Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP or GIF. Bold, flat colours and clear outlines stitch best, and a PNG with a transparent background leaves the background unstitched.
- Pick your machine and hoop Choose your machine and hoop and the design is sized to fit, with its stitch speed and format set.
- Match real threads Every colour is matched to a real spool from your thread brand, with its number. Change any of them.
- Preview and download Watch every stitch sew out on screen, then download the file and copy it to your machine.
Hoops

Getting the file onto the machine
Copy the .PES to a USB stick, plug it into the machine and open it from the embroidery screen's USB memory. Wi-Fi models can also receive designs from Baby Lock's app.
Tips
- Pick the hoop you'll actually sew with: the studio sizes the design to fit it, up to 160 x 260 mm.

Questions
What file format does the Baby Lock Flare use?
.PES. It also reads .DST, but .PES is its own format.
Can I put a JPG straight onto the Baby Lock Flare?
No. Embroidery machines sew from stitch files, not pictures. InstaEmbroid turns the JPG into a .PES with every stitch planned, which the machine can open.
How big can a design be?
Up to 160 x 260 mm (6.3 x 10.2 in) in the 6x10 in hoop.
