Exporting Split Embroideries

When you export a split embroidery, you provide a single embroidery file name which is used for all sections of the split embroidery and the sections are distinguished by a suffix.

For standard hoops, each section is suffixed by a number. The top left section starts at 01, then the numbering works across and down. You can stitch out the sections in the order you think is most suitable for each split design.

Zoom

Use the Zoom bar to change the view of the picture. Zoom in (drag the slider to the right) to magnify the view. Zoom out (drag the slider to the left) to shrink the view. To the right, the zoom level percentage is shown.

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

Export All Sections

Click the Export All Sections button to export all the split embroidery project sections, as shown in the Save Embroidery preview pane, as a .vp4 file or in an alternative embroidery format.

The Export dialog is displayed so you can select the embroidery format, then the Save 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*).

File Name

When you save a split embroidery, you provide a single name which is used for all parts of the split embroidery. The split parts are distinguished by a two digit suffix that is automatically added to the file name.

Suffixes for Multi-Hoop Splits

For a multi-hoop split, the split parts are suffixed with two digit numbers. The numbers start at 01 for the top left hoop, then increase across and down, for example Butterfly Garden Exported_01 to Butterfly Garden Exported_03. The numbers are used only to distinguish the individual sections. You can stitch out the sections in any order, as required.
