Most of the time you will find embroidery designs for computerized embroidery machines with a quick internet search and you will be able to add the format type that you are looking for to your search keyword or phrase. Some popular embroidery software formats are .dst, .exp, .fdr and more.
Making your own embroidery designs for machine embroidery is extremely difficult and at times may require specialized knowledge both of machine embroidery hardware and software as well as knowledge of computer design programs. This is why it is generally easier to find designs that have already been made in the format type that your machine requires and purchasing them from a reputable company. Many companies that make the designs for computerized machines will be able to sell them to you in many different formats which could be supported by your machine; however you will always want to make sure that you can purchase the correct format before you buy a design because not all formats will work in all machines. You will usually be able to find companies that can either design in your format, or be able to convert formats with relative reliability.
Since there are many different types of embroidery designs and designers you will probably search through hundreds of designs that fit into your format and theme choice before you find the best one to fit your needs.
