How to download, save, unzip and organize your embroidery designs

In this video, I will show you how to download the files you purchased from www.designsbyjuju.com. I will show you how to create a directory so you will always know where your designs are located, and also how to unzip or "extract" your files.

    THANK YOU for this video!!! I had never ordered embroidery/cricket designs from etsy before. I was tired of using what was only on my machines. So, I jumped in head first and ordered 17 designs. Needless to say I didn't know what to do after that. I was stuck. For 2 days I watched KZread videos that only confused me. I am computer illiterate. This morning I watched a few more. Then I found this one!!! I will never be able to thank you enough. I have downloaded every file and they are organized!!! Blessings to you.

    I did this (on my own, amazingly!). I saved them o to a 2 terabyte external hard drive. "You'll never fill it up" he said. "It will save your files in case your laptop ever crashes" he said. Well, I had the thing less than 1year, had ALL of my files in it ( several thousand dollars worth of files) and the darn thing crashes. Lost them all. I can still go back and redownload all of them, if I can remember where all I I purchased from. So aggravating. I had saved all of mine in categories. I did not have a master file as you suggested. Grrrrrrrrrrr

    What a help! I just downloaded all the designs I purchased from you, and thought I put them where they belonged. But NO! Now I can’t find them. In fact, somehow I lost your folder! I have looked as much as I can, but will need my husband or son’s help to retrieve them where I accidentally hid them. This makes so much sense, and I tried to do something like this, but this tutorial is very helpful. Thanks so much for this and all your great designs. I just started machine embroidery and also appreciate how you sell your designs. It really helps to have all the sizes available and at such great prices. Thanks for all you do.

    One other thing you may want to do once you have gotten your embroidery file off of the thumb drive or off of your computer (if you are using a cable) is to save the file to your machine just in case you happen to have to shut it off for any reason. This SAVE button icon is just off the screen at the bottom right on most Brother machines. It sort of looks like a pocket icon.

    You can also extract any zip file by right clicking on the zipped folder and clicking EXTRACT ALL. Now if you happen to want to zip these files back up for later use or to send to someone, just pick the files by left clicking on the .pes file, then holding down the CTRL key and left clicking the text file and the picture file, usually a .JPG or .TIF or both, now release the CTRL key and 3 files (possibly more) should be highlighted. Now right click one of these files and click on SEND TO: and a popup will show and then left click on COMPRESSED ZIPPED FOLDER. This will make a zipped folder for you right in that directory with the same name as the files that are in it. :-)

    Good video but I would suggest NOT having your 'master folder' on the desk top. Create it somewhere in your User folder and then have a 'shortcut' on the desktop. If your computer/devise crashes etc, you're likely to lose all the files if in a desktop folder. I appreciate more complicate to show on video but much safer practice. Otherwise, great video :)
