To send a design to an EmbroideryConnect device...

Note: The EmbroideryHub PC must be connected to the same local WiFi network as the EmbroideryConnect devices.

2Select a design tab and click the Send to EmbroideryConnect icon. Alternatively, select the command from the File menu. The dialog will display a list of configured devices. Both connected and disconnected devices will be listed.

3Choose a connected EC device and click Send. The design will be automatically converted to the selected machine file format and sent to the device.
