Our digital files come as a ZIP file containing a variety of different file formats which are compatible with all design programs that can open, import or upload a vector file format. Please read the Q & A section below that answers many of the commonly asked questions we receive about our files. Additional Q & A's can be found on our "FAQ & Contact Us" page.
Q. What file formats will come with my purchase? A. All of our newly uploaded files come with a zip file that includes 6 file formats: DXF, EPS, JPG, PLT, SVG & CRICUT-BROTHER.SVG. Some of our older files may not include all of these file formats. If you have purchased one of our older files, and need additional file formats, please contact us and we will update the file for you.
Q. How do I download my purchased files? A. You cannot download files from your account. A file can only be downloaded from the link located in the "Your files are ready to download from My File Addiction" email you receive after your purchase. The email is sent to the email address you use to sign in to your account. Check spam/junk folders if you don't see the email in your inbox. We recommend you save the email in case you need to download the file at a later date. If you cannot locate the email with the file links, please contact us and we can resend it to you.
Q. Are your rhinestone files compatible with Cricut Design Space or Brother Canvas Workspace? A. All of our newly added rhinestone files will include (2) SVG files. One of those SVG files will have Cricut-Brother added after the file name (example: But God-Cricut-Brother.svg). That file has been formatted to work in both Cricut Design Space & Brother Canvas Workspace programs.
Some of our older updated rhinestone files may also contain (2) SVG files but the file will only have Cricut after the file name (example: But God Cricut.svg). This file has only been formatted for Cricut Design Space users. If you're a Brother Canvas Workspace user you will need to contact us so that we can update the file to the Cricut-Brother version that is compatible with your program.
We also have some older rhinestone files that only contain (1) SVG file. This SVG file will NOT work in Cricut Design Space or Brother Canvas Workspace programs (example: But God.svg). You would need to contact us to update the file for you.
Q. What program do I need to own in order to use this file? A. Our files can be opened, uploaded or imported into many different design programs such as Silhouette Studio, Cricut Design Space, Sure Cuts A Lot, CorelDraw, Brother Canvas Workspace, Sierra Hotfix Era, Make the Cut, WinPCSign, Oobling or any other program that has the ability to open, upload or import a vector file format which is either a DXF, EPS, PLT or SVG.
Q. Can a rhinestone file be resized? A. The diameter of the circles that make up the design are set to cut a specific hole size to fit the rhinestone size listed on the listing image. When you adjust the size of the design it will also change the size of those circles so you will have to use a larger or smaller stone size than what the design was created for. You can only adjust the size of the design to the point where the circles will cut the correct size hole for a larger or smaller stone size. Below is a list of stone sizes and what the dimensions of the circles need to be in order to cut the correct size hole in your template.
ss06 (2mm) - .10 inches or 2.5mm ss10 (3mm) - .13 inches or 3.3mm ss16 (4mm) - .17 inches or 4.4mm
Q. Can I download a file to my phone or tablet? A. This will depend on the capabilities of your device. The file you purchase will come as a ZIP file which is a compressed file containing multiple file formats. In order to be able to bring an individual file in your design program the zip file needs to be decompressed first. If your device does not have the capabilities of decompressing the ZIP file then you must download the ZIP file onto a computer to decompress it first and then send the individual file to your device. Decompressing the ZIP file is performed by right-clicking on the ZIP file and selecting "Extract All" from a computer or laptop.
Q. Can I cut a rhinestone file from vinyl? A. Rhinestone files are made up of circles, so that will not change when you use it with vinyl. However, you can cut a rhinestone file from a sparkly heat transfer vinyl such as holographic or glitter vinyl and create a "Faux" rhinestone design. When the light reflects off of the circles they can sparkle just like a real rhinestone.
Q. What are the dimensions of the circles suppose to be for rhinestone files? A. The stone size for each design is always listed on the listing image. The most commonly used stone sizes are listed below. After you bring the file into the program you will use with your cutter, we suggest you select an individual circle in the design. The design is sized correctly if the dimensions of the selected circle match one of the following sizes based on what stone size(s) the listing image indicates:
ss06 (2mm) - .10 inches or 2.5mm ss10 (3mm) - .13 inches or 3.3mm ss16 (4mm) - .17 inches or 4.4mm
Q. What are the Terms of Use for any file I purchase? A. You cannot re-sell, re-distribute or share this file as a whole or any part of it. You cannot take any part of the file, make changes and resell it as a digital download. You are not allowed to use the file to sell pre-cut flock templates. The file may only be used to make transfers or finished products for personal and/or to sell products for your business. All rights for this design belong to My File Addiction.
I submitted Swag to be set in rhinestones. The response to my request was quick. The finished product was emailed to me within days for approval and it was exactly what I requested. Once approved and invoice paid the final product was emailed to me for download the next day.
