Pre-packaged assets, or asset samples that are installed with the software, include designs, custom fabrics, templates, motifs, borders, fonts, monograms, and more. These assets are stored in dedicated folders. In EmbroideryStudio, asset file locations divide into two broad categories – program data and user data.
Note: Some data folders will only be created when the software is opened for the first time after restarting your system.
