Excellent presentations. You have provided invaluable information on the steps of transferring zipped designs from computer to embroidery machine. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for the refresher course in moving designs from CD to the USB drive!
Thank you so much. Excellent topic for all quilters. I have posted this video in multiple folders in my TH-cam files so I can refer back to this topic in months to come when I have forgotten certain points and need a reminder.
Thank you for such a well done tutorial !!!! And thank you for your patience in explaining both ways . I have done my shortcut way and sometimes it did not go well , lol. Will do so much better in the future. You are Wonderful 👩💻
You continue to amaze me! Thanks for this video, I really needed to learn this!
This information was super helpful for a newer individual coming into this area of sewing! I’m definitely not a “techie” person but Becky made this so easily understandable. LOVE IT 😍
Thanks this was very helpful. I have so many embroidery cds!
Thanks for tutorial. I always need a refresher.
Becky, you are awesome, thank you. Thank you, thank you're just great.
You made it so easy, so understandable, so clear you are awesome.
Thank you so much, great information, love your little quote!!
Now I need an embroidery machine!!! LOL. Have a good night. 😊
You are so entertaining, . All your tutorials are so educational for people like me who is new to embroidery world. I have been sewing for 51 years. I am a new owner of Brother Luminaire XP2 embroidery machine. I also purchased a new HP Envy laptop just for this machine. I am more familiar with Apple Mac but slowly learning. Thank you for helping us gain confidence.
Thank You for doing this video! It was so helpful!
Super explaining! Thanks!
Thank you that was awesome of you to share that info how to transfer from CD
Thanks, you make is sound so easy and you explain it so well. And you are easy to listen to, love your accent. I know I will be using it again.
Thank you! 😃
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I had no idea how to do this and i want so badly to learn how to use my bernina embroidery machine!
Thanks for the refresher! As I get older I get brain dead sometimes. I used to teach computers back in the day but have been retired for 8 years and things are moving faster then I can keep up.
That must be a southern saying. I learned that saying from my mom. " my tongue got wrapped around my eye tooth and I couldn't see what I was saying" Love it.
Coins for your piggy bank. I ordered that thumbnailer thing. How awesome to be able to SEE the designs in the files. Who knew? Only you!
Great lesson.
Your video was very helpful. A newbie with all this technology. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, thank you ,thank you , thank you.. I can follow along with you now . And omg 😆 I cant wait to use that saying about the tongue and the eye teeth on my grandgirls ..they are going to crack up like I did ...love it...thank you again Becky you’re a 🌟😘💐
Great tutorial!
So helpful ❤
Thanks Becky
Thanks🎉
Thumbnailer is on SALE!! Wahoo. Thanks for link. Been wanting this but have been lazy. Finally procrastination pays off!! Lol
You will love it!
Power Tools with Thread Thanks again for link. Just bought it.
Wonderful
I love your shirt!
That was easy so far..when I got to my 4 files on disc, they were zip files...eg. Feathers.zip which I opened and. There are a multitude of feather files with different extensions. Do I just take my feathers.PES file copy it and paste it to my flash drive? Or do I need to extract the file to my computer and then try to transfer it to my flash drive?
Hope you'll be back soon. Miss seeing your smiling face.
My Mom used to say that too! She was from Texas too!!!🥰 Did you crochet that bear on your desktop? I love it when you show us step by step how to do stuff! Thank-you!😍
Girl, I couldn't crochet if my life depended on it! lol
I would love to have that table runner pattern . Where can I get it? Thanks
I can't seem to find Part 2 -- did it not get put on TH-cam?
Thanks,
Your right My phone is giving me fits. Im trying to free up space and Im not doing very well. I even stopped at the AT&T store and had a SD card put in to move pictures and other things to the card. The guy that sold it to me can't even do it. I guess I need to Google it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
If your phone is slowing down, it may not be because of the things you have on it. If it is an older phone (3-4+ years), the phone companies are notorious about slowing down the speed of data transfers and downloads/uploads on those older devices. I have a 1 year old Samsung Galaxy S9+ and it hums right along and is loaded with photos and videos. My business phone for our storage lot is an older S7 model with very few apps or photos on it - I use it mostly for calls and texts with only business contacts on it. And using that phone is so frustrating...it's like click...wait...click...wait. Grrr. Both are on the same AT&T data plan too. Phone companies do all they can to keep up with the latest technology on the newer phones and having to continue to support older models is a drain on their resources and bottom line.
Do u left or rt click?
Just got Ameli’s intro book off Amazon. Looking forward to giving this method a go. Took plunge few months ago and got the Mag Hoops at a DIME event. Should be helpful with this technique... I’m hoping.
It is SO fun! You will love it!
Power Tools with Thread
Your middle name is Enabler, yes?! Lol. BTW, do you have link for Essentials? I want to change to this software. Thanks
How about how to move from embrillance to a Janome 9850?
Sew what pro from s and s computing has a file viewer as well. I have been using it for several years.
Yes, there are several programs that do this. I have another one but it doesn't show my longarm files so I prefer this one.
Becky, how about if you buy a design and it downloads to the download file as zipped? Do you already have a video on that process and how to get it onto a USB? If not, may you please think about doing one? Thanks...now I’m going to go sew something!
Loved the man joke 😂
I embroider on my SE 625 and am addicted! I bought a digitize Hatch software for my learning experience! Maybe I'll become a digitizer but looking for how to videos on uploading to etsy onto Etsy to sell my art.
H🤗🤗🤗Elle I need help how to enlarge installed software that’s on cd... which sites are better for free downloads I NEED HELP PLEASE
Great refresher. I've been retired for several years now and I find I'm rusty. When you don't use something you tend to forget (esp when I'm trying to use Excel or Word). I'm lucky both of my laptops have multiple USB ports but think I need will need to replace one soon (sometimes it takes 10 minutes before it completely boots on). I would be in trouble if they didn't have the ports. I use a Blu-tooth mouse /keyboard and my scale downloads information to a program I have. I keep their ANTs plugged into all the time. Lucky I have three ports.I have trouble whenever I try to use the touchpad on the lap top it's just easier to use a mouse. Shoot I even have an adapter for a "desk file" (sure you remember them)I have some old games disks). Don't they also make a USB adapters that will hold several USB's?
Yes, they do have those multi USB ports. Very handy! Sounds like you're "wired for sound"! lol
Hi 🙋🏻♀️! I just found you and I thank you for this video. I just bought a brother se600 and have a question. Should I buy several flash drives in order to organize embroidery designs downloaded from Etsy and other places? Like I was thinking maybe separate them by holiday, one for birthdays, one for babies etc. I want to start a small business embroidering and plan to eventually have a lot of designs. Thank you my dear and Happy 2021!
PS I’m going to watch your tutorial for beginner embroidery next. I don’t have much knowledge about sewing at all but I want to learn how to quilt for first make a baby blanket for my first grandchild. It’s all his fault I even got this sewing machine 😂. I’m really enjoying it when I’m not creating bird nests! That is so frustrating but I have learned what I was doing wrong. I’m thankful I found you!
Most computers can handle all your embroidery and quilting files without really needing a separate USB for them. I recommend setting up folders on your computer like a library card catalog. Then just use the USB to transfer files to the machine. USB's can fail and you don't want all your files to go away if one dies or gets lost.
Been watching your You tutorial. You are great at explaining and THANK YOU for talking slow enough for us beginners to follow. This is something most probably know, but dicd not see where you put the original ZIP file after you extracted files. Do you keep original or delete it. Would think you keep, but where.
Thank you and hope I can find your answer 😃
I completely ignore zip files after I've downloaded them. They usually just stay in my downloads folder until I decide to go in and eventually delete them. If I ever need them again, I can always download from the vendor again.
Great instructions! Wish you'd been around when I started..... learned the hard way.
Well, you probably remember better. :-)
@@PowerToolsWithThread true.... lol
Love that comment
Walmart has the XHD but they are small. I found mine on Amazon.
Some WalMarts do carry them but mine down here don't.
@@PowerToolsWithThread the biggest i could get at our walmart was a 500. so ended up with 2 from amazon 1TB and a 4 TB. one for my genealogy and 1 for everything else.
Does this work the same with a floppy disk drive to a USB stick?
Pretty much! Yes.
ONCE YOU LEARN THIS PART IS PUTTING AN IN- THE- HOOP DESIGN ON THE USB STICK EASY FOR A BEGINNER?
Yes, it's the same.
Where did you get that awesome tee shirt?
I found it on the internet years ago. It's no longer in print that I can find.
Hi Becky! Your step by step tutorials are the best! Thanks! BTW Some of the embroidery design companies are doing away with CD's. Anita Goodesign is switching to downloads once their inventory of CD's is dusted and done. I'll be attending an OESD event on Fri/ Sat and my guess is that they will be going the same route or putting designs on a USB.
Yes, I've heard of this. But there are SO many embroiderers who have tons of CDs. I guess I'll have to do a step-by-step of downloading very soon. :)
@@PowerToolsWithThread Oh please do as I am sure I am not the only one with a ton of design cd's. Would we just transfer to an external drive? I like the whole idea of cd's because I can just glance at the cover to see that's the one I need. Darn it :(
@@PowerToolsWithThread I have bookcases full of CD's and for storage sake, getting a USB or download code would be preferred. I now need a system to keep my USB's in order and know what is in each stick without going through each and every one.
I have stitch artist 3 and I’m looking for tutorials for it. Does mine have a thumbnail built into it? I paid 600 for mine. I think that may have been a mistake.
Oh no, not a mistake at all! Stitch Artist 3 (SA3) has all the tools that are in SA1 and SA2. I'm not a digitizer so I don't get into all of the stitch creation SA3 has to offer, but I do have some videos on SA2 which I think you'd enjoy to show how to create embroidery applique designs from paper patterns using SA2. I'll link the playlist below. Thumbnailer is a separate inexpensive purchase from Stitch Artist. It's a utility that runs separately from the software and is not included with any of the Embrilliance modules. If you want Thumbnailer, here's a link and there's a coupon code for 10% off good through 7-25-23. tinyurl.com/4utndwf7 Code is MYBIRTHDAY23 Here's the link to my Embrilliance Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLj9pWPqHpkzLzczDrXUejzU27tXDPyeFH.html
I can not open my designs. My pes are written. And on my USB STICK it just has pes and wont open the file.
You can only open them using embroidery software like Embrilliance Essentials or drag/drop the design to a USB and take it to your machine and open it there. Here is a link to Essentials. bit.ly/3a0Oq2r
How do you right click on a Mac?
Control Click. Hope that helps.
Power Tools with Thread that definitely helps! Thanks!
This just replaced my 'male' downloader. 🤣 Nah, I think I shall still have home help.
It keeps him involved and feeling needed. I'm for that!
BUT, when he is not around....Thanks!
Knowledge is power! But if you get stuck, it's nice to know he is there. :)
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO RIGHT CLICK ONCE OR TWICE? I AM BRAND NEW TO THIS! 😊😊😊😊
Clicking once selects something; clicking twice activates something. ;)
Will this work with a Chromebook?
I do not recommend using a chromebook for embroidery files. Most embroidery software will not work on a chromebook.
I am going to use the 👁 tooth thing with friends and family. It is funny.🦷
I bought a USB accessory that turns ONE USB port into THREE!!
That is SO handy! I'll have to get one of those for my new laptop. I have one at work on my desk with 4 USB ports and a couple of 110 plugs. We're not allowed to charge our phones using the USB ports on our government computers.
If only I had my new computer. Just crashed and lost everything. Only 8 months old and at the doctor already
Cheryl Palian 😱🤬😢
Oh NO! That's awful. I have a 2TB external hard drive I bought at Costco for around $90 and I back up to that about once a week.
I would love to pic your brain about computers
Talks too much in stead of getting to the point .
