When manually pulling thread from your bobbin case your bobbin tension should feel like it is running smoothly through the bobbin case, and you should feel a slight resistance, making little effort to pull the bobbin thread out yet feeling like something is holding it back by a only a slight amount. The bobbin tension is adjusted with the larger of the two flat head screws on the side of your bobbin case. Righty=Tighty, Lefty=Loosey. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/1600/bobbin.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/320/bobbin.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/1600/bobbin.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Tip: Keep the "perfect small screwdriver" near the machine for changing needles and making the bobbin tension adjustments, as well as a tooth brush for cleaning the bobbin case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bobbin case collects dust and often a wax build up as the machine runs. You should clean the bobbin case when you see buildup starting to occur, that will assure you are running smoothly with no potential sewing problems or tension issues. Also like to hit it with a can of compressed air and blow out the hook area on the machine as well to clear the dust and thread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIP: When running caps most machines like to run better with a little more tension on the bobbin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/1600/bobbincase1.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/320/bobbincase1.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Some bobbin cases come with a spring inside which runs the bobbin nicely in some machines, but not all machines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been told that removing the spring improves the bobbins runability in Tajima and ZSK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;When running a test design, try the bobbin case with and without to see if your machine likes to run it with that configuration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To remove the spring, use the handy "perfect small screwdriver" you have for adjusting the tension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upper Thread Tension&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you are fairly confident your bobbin tension is close to where it needs to be (alot of this you learn from experience), you can then check your upper thread tenions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are adjusted by the tension knobs located on the front of the sewing head, and often have one or more smaller pre-tensioners above those.&lt;br /&gt;The first rule of thumb is to make sure your thread is pathed correctly for each needle, running through the machine very smoothly and wrapped around the tension wheel according to the specs your machine uses.&lt;br /&gt;Usually this is one and one half times clockwise around the tension wheel, then over the check spring and down to the take up levers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIP: Clean the areas in and around your tension knobs, felt and check spring weekly for proper machine maintenance. If these areas collect too much dust they often start causing false thread break errors and tension issues. Also keep some small disposable nail files handy for cleaning the thread break sensors where the check spring contacts them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally You have to pull the thread through the needle and out towards you, adjusting the tension to where it feels slightly tighter than the bobbin tension feels and making sure nothing is altering the path of the thread running through its course.&lt;br /&gt;You can also get tension guages for both upper and lower threads by the way, Ill try to add a source to this article in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;You might need to play with the pre-tensioners from time to time, they should just barely be slowing the thread down on its way to the larger tension wheel and simply acting as a guide, managing the slack or memory the thread may have. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/1600/tensionknob.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/320/tensionknob.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/1600/tensionknob.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Then run a little tension test file consisting of one column of satin stitches for each needle on the machine. Run this test every day before running the machine to assure that things are running properly. &lt;strong&gt;It only takes a few minutes to save hours of headaches.&lt;/strong&gt; After running the tension test, have a look at the top stitching and look closely for any looping or any bobbin appearing on the sides if the column.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIP: When running metallic thread you will often find that the thread has a little memory coming off of the spool, making a slight twisting shape as it runs through the machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might find it runs well if you take the thread cone off of the machine and place it either on the back of the machines table top, or even further back hanging on a wall or sitting on a seperate table. This allows the thread more room to unwind itself before getting to the machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, flip the design over and look at the back. This is where we can get a visual on the actual tension settings and try to tune them in a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you are looking for on the back is about 1/3rd bobbin thread, right down the middle of each column.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If too much bobbin is showing, loosen the upper tension. Not enough bobbin showing, tighten the tension. Again, Righty=Tighty, Lefty=Loosey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Front and Back&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Repeat process as necessary until you have them adjusted nicely. Keep in mind, sometimes the issue is bobbin tension and sometimes it is upper tension. Smooth running, good tensions are a marriage between the two. With a little practice and a little experience, you will be able to tune up your tensions quickly before production every day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17558193-113642550165210930?l=patchedembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17558193/posts/default/113642550165210930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17558193/posts/default/113642550165210930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patchedembroidery.blogspot.com/2006/01/thread-tensions-tutorial.html' title='Thread Tensions Tutorial'/><author><name>bruenet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01644616483340492993</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17558193.post-113642445145427117</id><published>2006-01-04T17:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-04T17:27:31.456-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tips and Tricks Regarding Needles</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Needles need to be changed frequently&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;It's recommended that you change your needles every 8 hours of sewing time. Needles wear down over time. As the needle length gets shorter, it will cause fraying, thread breaks, dropped stitches and or looping. Ragged stitching, fraying, or multiple thread breaks may be evidence of a bur on the needle tip. Changing a needle is a cheap first step in troubleshooting a problem. If you hit a hoop, frame, pin or other object, change your needle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Another Point &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ball point needles&lt;/strong&gt; are used on knit to prevent damage to the fabric. A ball point will push the fibers to the side and go between them, while a sharp point will go through the fibers which may cause a small whole to form in knits. Ball points work best on extremely delicate fabrics, jersey, pique, and most interlock fabrics. Sharp or normal point needles are typically used on wovens and are best for tight weaves, canvas, twill, denim, towels, caps, nylon, and satin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wedge point needles&lt;/strong&gt; are used on heavy leather. Today's soft leather does not require the wedge point as it would leave a larger hole. Heating from friction causes needles to weaken and break. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Needles covered in Teflon&lt;/strong&gt; have less friction and heating, therefore they will last longer, have fewer thread breaks and less gummy residue buildup. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titanium needles&lt;/strong&gt; are covered with a thin coating of titanium-nitride. This adds 40% more strength to the needle and a golden color. The titanium coating makes this needle more wear-resistant than regular needles. The tips do not wear down as fast. The point stays sharp longer and the needle can penetrate dense or tough materials. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eye On Selection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DBXK5 needles have a slightly larger eye and has a small eye to point ratio. DBX7ST needles have an extra large eye. DBX9ST needles have a extra, extra large eye. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sizing It Up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For small lettering or delicate fabrics and designs, try using a small 65/9 or 70/10 size needle. For caps, try using a larger size 80/12 sharp needle. Size 75/11 is a nice standard size needle for most embroidery work. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Needles are sized by two systems,&lt;/strong&gt; European and American. The larger numbers such as 65, 70, 75, 80, 90 are the European size, while the smaller numbers such as 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 are the American system. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17558193-113642445145427117?l=patchedembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17558193/posts/default/113642445145427117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17558193/posts/default/113642445145427117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patchedembroidery.blogspot.com/2006/01/tips-and-tricks-regarding-needles.html' title='Tips and Tricks Regarding Needles'/><author><name>bruenet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01644616483340492993</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17558193.post-113642230541059750</id><published>2006-01-04T16:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-04T16:52:28.460-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PET Training CDs</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Why is password supplied with my PET Training CD not being accepted during installation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; Some of the USA CD-ROMs have a digit missing from the installation password.

There are Auto Backup and Auto Save features within your Wilcom Designer software that you can use while creating designs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is important to understand what these features do in order to utilize them properly. See page 729 in your V7 User Manual for more details on the Auto Save and Backup features.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;The Auto Save Design feature allows you to set an interval of time at which the design you are working on will be automatically saved into the Recover folder as an .EMA file. This does not replace saving the design periodically, as the Auto Save feature is there as a design recovery feature in case you lose power or have a computer failure. Once you close the design you are working on, the .EMA file is automatically removed from the Recover folder. If Wilcom Designer aborts or your PC crashes, the .EMA file remains in the &lt;strong&gt;c:\eswin\recover &lt;/strong&gt;folder&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Always Create Backup Copy feature if selected, saves a backup copy of the embroidery file you are working on every time you Click Save from the File menu. If you have not saved the file at least once, there will not be a backup for you to access later.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Note: Using the Always Create Backup Copy feature is for emergency purposes. It is not a replacement for doing a full system backup or backing up all your designs and storing them off-site. I recommend you do a full backup of all your designs and embroidery related files on a regular basis and store them in a location other than your place of business, as a precaution. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using the Backup Files&lt;/strong&gt;: Following are the steps required to access the backup files (.BAK files) that are created when using the Create Backup Copy Feature: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Open Windows Explorer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Open the Backup folder which is located inside the ESWin folder. The default path is &lt;strong&gt;c:\eswin\backup&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;If you cannot see file extensions i.e. your files are displayed as design1, design2 rather than design1.ema, design2.ema, you will need to change the view settings in Windows Explorer to show file extensions: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul type="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In Windows Explorer, click Tools Folder Options. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Select the View tab &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Untick ”Hide File Extensions for known file types. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Right click on the file that you need to access. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Select Rename. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Change the file extension from .BAK&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;.EMB&lt;/strong&gt; (This is a very important step. If you do not change the file extension to .EMB, your Wilcom software will not be able to open the design). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Move the file to the same folder your other design files are stored. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The file is now ready to be used as a normal Wilcom EMB file. Open the file as you normally would in your Wilcom software. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Auto Recover Designs:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;If you do have a system shutdown or power outage, the design you were working on may be recoverable. If you had the Auto Save feature selected and the specified amount of time had passed for at least one Auto Save to occur, then it is likely the design can be recovered. When you first open your Wilcom software after an emergency shutdown like a power failure, the software will try to open the design from the recover folder. You will see the design on the screen. To properly recover the design, click &lt;strong&gt;Save As&lt;/strong&gt;… from the File menu and save the design into your Design folder. When the Design has been properly recovered (saved), purge the recover folder.

There are Auto Backup and Auto Save features within your Wilcom Designer software that you can use while creating designs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is important to understand what these features do in order to utilize them properly. See page 729 in your V7 User Manual for more details on the Auto Save and Backup features.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Sect"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The Auto Save Design feature allows you to set an interval of time at which the design you are working on will be automatically saved into the Recover folder as an .EMA file. This does not replace saving the design periodically, as the Auto Save feature is there as a design recovery feature in case you lose power or have a computer failure. Once you close the design you are working on, the .EMA file is automatically removed from the Recover folder. If Wilcom Designer aborts or your PC crashes, the .EMA file remains in the &lt;strong&gt;c:\eswin\recover &lt;/strong&gt;folder&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Sect" align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/1600/Essentials_img_0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7954/352/320/Essentials_img_0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="Sect"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Always Create Backup Copy feature if selected, saves a backup copy of the embroidery file you are working on every time you Click Save from the File menu. If you have not saved the file at least once, there will not be a backup for you to access later.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="Sect"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Note: Using the Always Create Backup Copy feature is for emergency purposes. It is not a replacement for doing a full system backup or backing up all your designs and storing them off-site. I recommend you do a full backup of all your designs and embroidery related files on a regular basis and store them in a location other than your place of business, as a precaution. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="Sect"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using the Backup Files&lt;/strong&gt;: Following are the steps required to access the backup files (.BAK files) that are created when using the Create Backup Copy Feature: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Open Windows Explorer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Open the Backup folder which is located inside the ESWin folder. The default path is &lt;strong&gt;c:\eswin\backup&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;If you cannot see file extensions i.e. your files are displayed as design1, design2 rather than design1.ema, design2.ema, you will need to change the view settings in Windows Explorer to show file extensions: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol type="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In Windows Explorer, click Tools Folder Options. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Select the View tab &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Untick ”Hide File Extensions for known file types‘.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;           Right click on the file that you need to access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Select Rename. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Change the file extension from .BAK&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;.EMB&lt;/strong&gt; (This is a very important step. If you do not change the file extension to .EMB, your Wilcom software will not be able to open the design). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Move the file to the same folder your other design files are stored. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The file is now ready to be used as a normal Wilcom EMB file. Open the file as you normally would in your Wilcom software. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Auto Recover Designs:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;If you do have a system shutdown or power outage, the design you were working on may be recoverable. If you had the Auto Save feature selected and the specified amount of time had passed for at least one Auto Save to occur, then it is likely the design can be recovered. When you first open your Wilcom software after an emergency shutdown like a power failure, the software will try to open the design from the recover folder. You will see the design on the screen. To properly recover the design, click &lt;strong&gt;Save As&lt;/strong&gt;… from the File menu and save the design into your Design folder. When the Design has been properly recovered (saved), purge the recover folder. This procedure is described below in the Clean Up section. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cleaning Up:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;You may have noticed upon opening the Backup folder that there are many designs in the folder taking up space. Occasionally you will want to clean out the backup folder to save space on your computer. Or you may want to delete designs in the Recover folder after an emergency recover from a power outage. To clean up both the Recover and Backup folders do the following: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Programs from the Start menu in Windows&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Find the Wilcom ES program group and click Purge Recovery (See Figure 1-2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Select the option to Delete Backup files and click OK.

Column width and offset will be determined by the settings in the Input C tab (Figure 1) under object properties. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Left click on the screen to define the width. The offset will be defined by the settings in the Input C tab (Figure 1).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="Sect"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Right click on the screen directly over the Input C line to define the width and the offset yourself and override the default settings. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="Sect"&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Adjusting Input C Properties. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Corner Fraction determines how many stitches will turn or angle as they flow around a tight corner. The larger the value, the more stitches will turn or angle toward the corner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Round Sharp Corners is used in conjunction with Smart Cor ners.

Wilcom ES features built in auto backup and auto save features that you&lt;br /&gt;can use while creating designs. It is important to understand what these features do in order&lt;br /&gt;to utilize them properly&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Setting automatic save options and backup options&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;The Auto Save Design feature allows you to set an interval of time at which the design you&lt;br /&gt;are working on will be automatically saved into the Recover folder as an .EMA file. This does&lt;br /&gt;not replace saving the design periodically, as the auto save feature is there as a design&lt;br /&gt;recovery feature in case you have a software or hardware computer failure. Once you close&lt;br /&gt;the design you are working on, the .EMA file is automatically removed from the Recover&lt;br /&gt;folder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To set automatic save in ES &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;Select Special ; Options in the ES Menu &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;The Options dialog opens. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;Select the General tab. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;Select the Auto Save Design Every checkbox. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;Enter the auto-save frequency in the Minutes field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the event of a hardware or software failure ES will then automatically restore the designs that were opened in ES before the failure. This process will occur the very next time ES is opened after the failure. You can then resave the file as any normal design file.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Creating backup copies of saved designs.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;The Always Create Backup Copy feature if selected, saves a backup copy of the embroidery&lt;br /&gt;file you are working on every time you click save from the file menu. If you have not saved&lt;br /&gt;the file at least once, there will not be a backup file for you to access later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;Please Note: Using the Always Create Backup Copy feature is for emergency purposes. It is&lt;br /&gt;not a replacement for doing a full system backup or backing up all your designs and storing&lt;br /&gt;them off-site. Wilcom recommends you do a full backup of all your designs and embroidery&lt;br /&gt;related files on a regular basis and store them in a location other than your place of business,&lt;br /&gt;as a precaution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;To create a backup every time you save a design, select the Always&lt;br /&gt;Create Backup Copy checkbox.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(This option is located underneath the Auto Save option)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;The design will be saved in the BACKUP folder of your Wilcom ES installation. It will have the&lt;br /&gt;same name as the original file with the extension .BAK.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;Please Note: Backup files remain in the BACKUP folder until you delete them. To prevent the&lt;br /&gt;folder from using too much hard disk space, delete unwanted files regularly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Retrieving backup files that are located in the backup folder.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="left"&gt;Created backup files saved to the backup folder will have the file extension .BAK.
