Export All Sections

Use Export All Sections to export all the split embroidery project sections shown in the Save Embroidery preview as .vp4 files, or in an alternative embroidery format. The Split Project displays the Export dialog so you can select the embroidery format, then the Save or Save As dialog so you can name your design. For more information on using Export, see Export.

Export in any of the following embroidery file formats: Brother/Baby Lock/Bernina PEC (.pec), Brother/Baby Lock/Bernina PES (.pes version 2 - 11), Compucon/Singer PSW (.xxx), Husqvarna Viking / Pfaff (.vp4, .vp3 and .vip), Husqvarna (.hus, .shv), Janome (.jef and .sew), Melco (.exp), Pfaff (.pcs), Tajima (.dst) and Toyota (.10*).

Note: The preferred file format for saving embroideries is .vp4, as this will preserve the separate parts of multipart designs. It also preserves thread color information and notes.

File Name: When you save a split embroidery, you provide a single name which is used for all parts of the split embroidery.

Suffixes for Multi-Hoop Splits: For a multi-hoop split, the split parts are distinguished by a two digit suffix that is automatically added to the file name. The numbers start at 01 for the top left hoop, then increase across and down, for example Three Flowers_01 to Three Flowers_03.

Note: The numbers are used only to distinguish the individual sections. You can stitch out the sections in any order, as required.

Zoom

Use the Zoom bar to change the view of the embroidery. Zoom in (drag the slider to the right) to magnify the view. Zoom out (drag the slider to the left) to shrink the view.

When zoomed in, use the scroll bars or swipe to move around.
