Asset locations

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.

Product backdrops

EmbroideryStudio allows you to choose a garment or product backdrop on which to position decorations. The Product Visualizer tool lets you display design location, size and overall appearance for visualization and customer approval purposes. Product backdrops are PNG artwork files but they are considered ‘program data’. They are located here...

C:\Program Files\Wilcom\EmbroideryStudio\Digital Edition\26\Products

Tip: You can add your own single-color and multi-color product templates to the software. See Product Backdrops for details.
