Meet creator Sue Brown and OML Embroidery
Creative and unique Embroidery designs

Hi! I’m Sue Brown, the creator behind OML Embroidery — and if you love machine embroidery, in-the-hoop projects, quilt blocks, mug rugs, patches, and designs that actually stitch out beautifully… you’re in the right place. My passion for Sue Brown and OML Embroidery is reflected in every design I create.
I’ve been designing and digitizing machine embroidery files for over 20 years, and I’m still obsessed with it. I’m the kind of person who can’t walk past a thread rack without wanting to reorganize it, and I definitely believe that “just one more design” is a perfectly reasonable life choice.
OML Embroidery isn’t a hobby project — it’s my full-time passion, my business, and my creative world. While I do miss my patches business, I am having so much fun with OML Embroidery – i have come up with so many ideas for the best machine embroidery designs.
What Makes OML Embroidery Different?
Machine embroidery designs are everywhere these days… but not all designs are created equal.
Every OML Embroidery file is carefully digitized for:
- Clean edges
- Balanced stitch counts
- Smooth stitching
- Strong, professional results
- Beginner-friendly construction
- Real-world stitch testing
- Every design is hand digitized – no auto anything!
I don’t believe in sloppy files, jagged outlines, or designs that look great on-screen but stitch out like a disaster.
If I sell it, it’s because it stitches out beautifully. I personally stitch out every single design. I check every single stitch so you don’t have to – all you have to do is pick your colors.
My Specialty: In-The-Hoop Projects, Mug Rugs, Quilt Blocks & Patches, Fantasy Embroidery designs
I’m best known for creating fun, high-quality projects that stitch out clean and feel rewarding to make.

A Huge Embroidery Community (And You’re Welcome Here)
I’m proud to have built one of the most supportive embroidery communities online.
Over the years, I’ve created thousands of embroidery tutorials and stitch-alongs, including:
- 2,500+ recorded videos and live stitch alongs that are not edited on YouTube. If something goes wrong, in a live video I will troubleshoot and fix whatever went wrong.
- A large Facebook group community of embroidery lovers OML Embroidery University -a safe, fun place to learn embroidery and ask questions. Everyone is helpful and kind in the group.
- Step-by-step stitch-out tutorials and embroidery education
I don’t just sell designs — I teach, share, and help people feel confident using their embroidery machines.
Because embroidery should be fun… not frustrating.
My Design Style (A Little Bold… A Little Magical)
My designs are known for being creative, detailed, and sometimes a little dramatic (in a good way).
I love:
- bold outlines
- layered textures
- unexpected color combinations
- themed collections and bundles
- designs that feel like they have personality
- I think outside the embroidery box, and always have options and ideas.
And yes… I may have a slight obsession with dragons and fantasy themes and gothic embroidery designs.
Stitchwood Hollow: My Fantasy Embroidery World
One of my favorite creative projects is Stitchwood Hollow, a fantasy-inspired embroidery collection filled with original characters, mystical symbols, dragons, and story-driven designs. There is a Keeper’s log, a map and each guardian gets a free sigil patch with every design.
If you love gothic, celestial, and fantasy-style embroidery, Stitchwood Hollow is where things get fun.

Why I Do This
Welcome to the world of Sue Brown and OML Embroidery, where creativity knows no bounds.
I started OML Embroidery because I love creating designs that make people excited to stitch, confident enough to try something new, and be creative with colors and fabric.
There’s nothing better than seeing someone take one of my designs and turn it into something beautiful — a quilt, a gift, a mug rug set, a jacket patch, or a project that becomes part of their home.
Machine embroidery is art. It’s therapy. It’s creativity. It’s joy.
And I’m here for all of it.
