About
One new motif and one new technique for every month in 2026! The 2026 Designer Mastery program is all about learning IQ Designer on Baby Lock machines, or My Design Center on Brother machines. Some example technique themes are lace, edge to edge, fill patterns, applique, zipper bag, etc. Examples of motifs can be anything from an Easter Bunny to a seashell, flower, or even abstract shapes. The embroidery files will be PES format for Brother and Baby Lock machines. The design files will vary in size, with some monthly releases requiring a minimum embroidery hoop size of 9.5 x 14 inches. The intent of this program is to teach you how to draw and create in IQ Designer/ My Design Center, as well as learning how to build a dynamic design in steps and layers. You are encouraged to mix and match techniques and motifs from different months to make a unique project that's special to you!
