How do I download designs from an email?
In your order history at www.emblibrary.com, you have the option to download designs to your computer, or to have them sent via email. How to download from an email sort of varies depending on which email program you use, but here are two samples to help you get going in the right direction. The first example uses an email program -- Microsoft Outlook. Open the email.
When using an email program, designs tend to show up as attachments (see example to the right, circled in red).
Double click on the attachment, and you should get these two options -- to open the file, or to save it to disk. Always choose "save," never choose "open."
Or, right click on the attachment once. Choose "save as."
Choose where you'd like to save the file. You might choose to save it to a floppy disk, and this example shows how to select the floppy disk drive.
Or, you can save it to your desktop by clicking the Desktop option.
Or, you can save it to a specific folder by clicking that option.
You can either keep the same name that we have given the design, or you can name the design something else.
Then, click Save. Now the design is downloaded!
Remember that downloading is only transferring the design to your computer or a storage device (floppy disk, thumb drive, etc.). Opening or uploading to your machine are separate actions. You might use web mail, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, or Gmail. The next example shows how to download from web mail.
For webmail, the file might show up as a link. It really varies depending on what kind of webmail program you use. Click the link, and then follow the remaining steps shown above!
That is exactly how you download a design. Now you can open the design with embroidery software, or upload it to your machine via floppy disk, CD, flash/thumb drive, embroidery card, or direct transfer through USB cable or wireless -- that depends on how your machine receives designs.
