9 Transferring Designs: CD To USB When you are an All Access member, you’ll find all of the designs, plus tons of other great information included on the CD located in the back of your book. Keep In Mind 1. If you do not have embroidery software installed on your computer, there is no way for your computer to open the embroidery design. Only your embroidery machine and embroidery software can read the design files and show you a picture of the design. However, you do not need embroidery software in order to transfer your designs. Start by inserting the CD into your computer. Once inserted, a dialog box may open and ask you what you want to do next. Select the function that allows you to view the files on the CD. If the box does not automatically appear, you can go to your Start menu and the File Explorer. You then should see all the folders on the CD. Double-click the CD to access the folder. A new window will open. Inside, you will find a folder for each collection. We are going to use Artful Aviary in this example. Double click to open the collection folder. Once you open the collection you will see three folders. You will want to use both the tutorial and tutorial steps to complete your stitch out. COMMON QUESTION: How do I transfer my designs to a USB stick? Most machines have a built-in USB port and can read the designs directly from the USB stick. If your embroidery machine uses a different method such as a card reader or a direct connect, see your local dealer for additional instructions. This section will cover both a Windows and a Macintosh operating system. 1 2 3 Using A Windows Operating System 2. We have included pictures of each design in the tutorial along with a list of steps and colors. 3. Each design comes in multiple machine formats. 4.
