Saving the file
Since this embroidery pattern will be used as the
basis of a more complex embroidery picture, we
need to save it.

Save As.

b Memo:
To overwrite the original file in the original

3. If necessary, change the drive and folder.

.pem files cannot be written to original cards.
Import them into Layout & Editing first. (For

patterns from Design Center” on page 128.)

• The embroidery pattern cannot be edited
while the realistic preview is displayed.
• The Realistic Preview function cannot
display a clean preview of the pattern if the
monitor is set to 256 colors or less. The
monitor should be set to at least 16-bit
High Color (65536 colors).
