Donna,

Are you wondering how people are organizing their files?

No I would like to know how to create a listing down load file from an embroidery file. I've looked all over etsy for help on this topic but cannot find what I'm looking for. I have a bunch of embroidery designs I've made with my embroidery software program that I would like to sell on etsy I want to open another shop to sell digital down load files.

Hi Donna,

I haven't done this myself but when I have bought digital embroidery designs from Etsy, the designs and colour change/thread list sheets have come grouped together as a .zip file.

You can make a .zip file in Windows 7 by following the instructions in this link

I see the instructions on the Etsy help board don't list .zip as a fle type you can upload, but it must work. The article I was looking at is here

Let us know when your new shop opens.
