Design files

Embroidery designs

The built-in Design Library makes it easy to search, sort and browse all embroidery designs on your network. Any folder containing embroidery designs can be included in the navigation tree. See Design Management for details.

Machine files

Similarly, the Design Library makes it easy to search, sort and browse all machine files on your system. See Design Management for details.

Artwork

Artwork files in both bitmap and vector formats may also be managed with the Design Library. Sample files are installed together with sample embroidery design files. See Design Management for details.

Recovery files

The Auto Save function creates a temporary file in the RECOVER folder with the extension EMA. This is automatically restored when EmbroideryStudio is restarted after a computer crash and is deleted upon normal exit. You can manually access these files by browsing to the folder and renaming files from EMA to EMB.

Backup files

If the Backup Copy option is activated, a backup copy of the current design file is automatically created in its previously saved form. The backup copy is saved in the BACKUP folder with the original file name and native file format.
