I’m so glad you’re here. If you love embroidery and are looking for help to learn digitizing, embroidery tips, and creative inspiration you’ve come to the right place.
Embroidery Gatherings is here to help make you the most productive, most creative digitizer you can be, using the Floriani FTCU embroidery software.
I aim to share what I’ve learned as a digitizer in a simple, helpful way. I try to write the posts about digitizing that I would want to read.
New FTCU tutorials are posted every few weeks inside the Embroidery Gatherings Membership Club. These tutorials include step-by-step written explanations and videos of how to digitize a design and focus on different skills you will need to know.
WHY I USE FLORIANI FTCU EMBROIDERY SOFTWARE
I was introduced to the Floriani software 12 years ago and I immediately felt comfortable with it. During that time, I was curious about other brands and tried to learn them as well. But I kept coming back to the Floriani software. The software thinks like my brain and just seems the most logical for me to use.
I am not affiliated with RNK Distributors or employed as a Floriani Educator. These tutorials are completely independent and developed by myself. They are intended to be a resource for people who are looking for help to learn the Floriani FTCU digitizing program. A program that I know and love!

WHO I AM
My name is Paula and I am an embroidery digitizing enthusiast. I have an elementary teaching and retail background. But these days you can find me in my studio creating new tutorials, embroidery designs and patterns. Some people might describe it as “following your passion”.
I have spent the last 12 years teaching myself to digitize and consuming every bit of information I can about machine embroidery. And, that’s why I have created Embroidery Gatherings.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND ME
Pinterest is my social media of choice and you can find me pinning everything embroidery related over on the Embroidery Gatherings Pinterest page.
