This process works with any files on any CD, but we're thinking about our precious embroidery files on CDs. Time to get them to the computer so we can transfer them to our machines!

Oh my gosh! I have a bunch of embroidery CD’s that belonged to my Mom before she passed. I inherited her machine and have been quilting up a storm but have been intimidated by the embroidery. I popped one of the CD’s into my laptop a few years ago and didn’t know what to do from there. “When the student is ready the teacher appears.” You are a blessing Becky!

@dianemah2578 Год назад

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You are such a brilliant person to "take the time to show" (us embroidery people) how CD's move files from CD to a laptop. I never new I could do this.

Thank you! Great tutorial refresher! Organizing my embroidery files is something i need to work on, it can become a mess if you dont. I love that you always keep us current in the tech world.

Becky, you are an awesome person, so kind and so good in what ever you do. Thank you for teaching people like me to understand a little more about computers. wish you could teach more on the DX scan n cut machines. Love everything you do. Thank You Louise G

Thank you sew much for sharing your technology knowledge in such a simple way for those of us who grew up before the technology age was a thing! I never fail to learn something from your tutorials.

@charleenwozniak1904 Год назад

Thank You !!! This will save me some headache time and help me find what I need all at once.

@teresamcbrayer2549 Год назад

Becky you are the best. Thank you so much I just can't Thank you enough. I did buy a CD reader per your suggestion just like the one in your tutorial. You are a life saver You are a Blessing for sure

Good & concise way to introduce those that aren’t familiar with transferring files…. I’m so used to just doing this , I forget that others might not do this on a daily basis. My sister and I spent yesterday scanning shapes into the scan n cut …then bringing then into simply appliqué…then cutting fabric shapes and finally using Embrillance to get rid of hidden stitches…tested the stitch outs too! We felt so accomplished we joked we’re ready to start our own RU-vid channel… and we laughed and we laughed and we laughed! All thanks to you girl!

Hi Becky! Very timely! Thanks for this helpful video!

@scottydog6539 Год назад

I was just watching a utube video by Joy Bernhardt. She mention her friend Becky then spoke of “Power Tools With Threads”. Joy was talking about wearing t- shirts. I guess she knows you for many years it sounded like.

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

Joy and I go way back. She is the one who got me to start my RU-vid channel! My husband and I just had lunch with joy and Jerry last weekend.😊

@ellenboyers9559 Год назад

Thank you for this video. I am going thru this situation right now so this is very timely. I love your cat on your screen.

@ellenboyers9559 Год назад

Thank you also for this step by step video. I'm not a total beginner but not much more than that.

Thankyou Becky. I think I might go ahead with the windows 11 update now. Are you happy with it? This was so very helpful. Could you do one on the Thumbnalil.

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

Very happy. I've had zero problems with Windows 11.

@judiththorpe2891 Год назад

Becky I have some very old CD’s which won’t open. Do you have any idea how I can get them off. Someone said to me if it was from the time of the window Xp I have to have a older computer to do that, is that true. I do not have anything but a Window 10

@barbarameehan113 Год назад

I have the same problem. Hope Becky can solve this for us.😁

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

Usually, today's CD readers can read backwards to older CDs. It shouldn't matter which operating system created the file so no matter whether it's Win XP or Win 7 or Win 11, it should all work. The problem is not that the CD won't open, I suspect is an older operating system on the current computer that won't perform properly for some reason. Recommend taking the CDs with a USB drive to a computer repair place and ask them to move the files from the CD to the USB stick. They have the ability to make all that work.

@karencarr5923 Год назад

Yes, very helpful. Thank you!

@theresavolland4264 Год назад

Thanks, very helpful!

@robertapoirier3045 Год назад

Thank you for the tutorial, very informative. Is your Brother WiFi capable? Does Brother offer a Data Base transfer software to move designs to your Brother thru WiFi? Game changer. Baby Lock has this and it’s FREE!

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

Yes, Brother has the Design Database Transfer and it works on both Brother and Baby Lock machines with network connectivity.

@lindafox9005 Год назад

Can you take a cd with designs and end up putting them on a floppy disk for a Designer 1 with floppy? I have a pc not a lap top. but have a add on floppy reader and built in cd player.

@patriciacook7212 Год назад

Thank you. I always learn something from you. Does it work the same on a Mac laptop? Also, how do I go about getting designs I buy online to my laptop. Thanks, Becky…you are the best!!

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

Yes, the process is pretty much the same for a Mac. I've got an older video showing how to download files from an embroidery site on the internet. I go step-by-step for beginners. This works the same for all online sites. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gslRMZA7VuQ.html

@debbiebush4966 Год назад

Becky, I have had several embroidery design CD's given to me. I was able to create a folder for embroidery and copy any jpeg files and open them but I cannot open anything that has PES next to it. What am I doing wrong?

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

You are not doing anything wrong 😊. The PES file format is not native to your computer so it does not know how to display it. You need a utility like Embrilliance Thumbnailer in order to be able to see PES files. If you drag and drop that PES file into any embroidery software you will be able to see the design as well. You can get Thumbnailer here bit.ly/3j8aKej

@cherylgrider759 Год назад

DO YOU COPY ANY OF YOUR DESIGNS TO YOUR EXTERNAL DRIVE TO SAVE THEM THERE ALSO?

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

Not usually. I keep my primary designs on my laptop and then also backup My Documents folder (and my Embroidery files are in there) on a cloud service.

@carolepaquin8980 Год назад

Hi there! Can you tell me if Simply appliqué is Mac compatible?

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

I replied to your email to me. Thanks!

@cherylgrider759 Год назад

CAN I DO YOUR PROCESS USING A WINDOW 7?😊😊😊😊

@PowerToolsWithThread Год назад

Yes. The steps are a tiny bit different, but the process is pretty much the same... Create a home for the new files, bring them up on the screen, highlight them, copy, and paste them into the new location. Using Win 7, you won't have the copy/paste icons like Win 11. You'll need to highlight the files and then Right Click on them and a menu will appear. Navigate to Copy and click it. Then do the same in the new window where they will live, Right Click, and Paste.

Worse explanation. You had to Many other things going on re: erasing etc Make another video with just each step disregarding what you have on your computer.

@PowerToolsWithThread 10 месяцев назад

Many viewers have needless files on USBs and don't know how to delete them. That's why I left those 3 seconds in the video and didn't edit them out. Hopefully the rest of the video was helpful to you. If not, I'm sure another search on RU-vid will help you out. Thanks for watching!

@claudiahibdon973 10 месяцев назад

@@PowerToolsWithThread I’m just so frustrated like the other person you talked about. All videos show how to use a stick but my machine doesn’t have a port for that only the cord that came with the machine which I bought from a lady. I apologize for being rude.
