Transferring the pattern to an
original card
This embroidery pattern can be transferred to a
sewing machine, where it can be sewn. Transfer
the embroidery pattern to the sewing machine
using media of the type used by your machine, for
example, original cards, floppy disks,
CompactFlash cards, or USB media. For this
example, we will transfer the pattern to an original
card.
1. Insert an original card into the USB card writer
module.
2. Click File on the menu bar, point to Write to
Card, and then click Current Design on the
submenu.

If a section of the pattern exceeds the
maximum allowed for the stitch count or
number of colors, a message appears,
describing the limitations and asking
whether or not the pattern should be saved
anyway. If the embroidery pattern extends
off the Design Page, a message appears,
asking whether or not the pattern should be
saved anyway. If the pattern is saved
anyway, it must be edited before it can be
sewn.
a
Note:
The original card is inserted correctly when
you hear it snap into place.

Note:
If the original card already contains patterns,
they will be deleted.
