All About Embroidery Tool Shed

Hi Martine,

Hello from the United States! Thanks for reaching out to us with your questions. Unfortunately DIME Embroidery Tool Shed doesn't support PHD files at this time. When you are saving a design into PES format, go ahead and choose PES v9. Feel free to try one of these free designs (rotated periodically) to test it out. Let us know if you have any other questions and have a great day!

Hi Martine,

I am glad to hear that you have been enjoying Tool Shed! To transfer designs to your machine using Wi-Fi, you will need to download the Brother Data Design Transfer App to your computer or device. Unfortunately the app is not currently compatible with Mac devices at this time. Brother recommends using a USB stick to transfer files for Mac users, as it sounds like you have already been doing. Please let us know if you have any other questions and have a great day.

Hi Jenee,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Unfortunately, Embroidery Tool Shed is not capable to turning a PDF file into an embroidery file. In order to do this, you will need to send it to a digitizer. We recommend Universal Digitizing. I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions and have a great day.

You got it Theresa, you can't save anything in "Try" mode even if part of what you're using is a paid product. So getting as far as saving is as far as you can go in testing before buying.

Thank you, Kirsten.

Hi Mary J. Yes! In fact, I've done just that a few months ago. I filled a hoop with earrings in Tool Shed, from one earring file.

Here's a blog post that shows how I did that.

Hi Faith, to my knowledge that's not a feature of the software; it's just always going to be white. But if I find out differently, I'll be sure to let you know.

Hi Rhoda, thanks for asking. Yes, you can!

To change mm to inches, go to the "Tools" menu, and make the change in the drop down menu that will be in the "general options" window accessible from that menu.

Hi Linda,

The Babylock Bloom can use . DST or .PES formats. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a good day!

Hi Alet, to find out why designs from a particular supplier are in that format, I suggest you contact that designer.
I notice that you have gotten Embroidery Tool Shed Software here. That software does come with some free designs. Here's what you need to do in order to view and use those:

When you download Embroidery Tool Shed, you will need to install it. This video shows you how to do that on a Windows computer.

Next, you can find the free designs that come with the machine by clicking the "book" icon. Here's a video that shows you where those are:

Hi Dorothy,

Thanks for reaching out to embroidery.com! I found your order with the Perfect Stitch Viewer, and we do have a License Key number that goes with the order. I will email it to you, so that you can register the software. Please look for an email from [email protected]. Have a great day!

Mildred, I'm not sure that is part of Tool Shed. But you can open the two letters in separate tabs, and then use the copy and paste feature to copy the letter from one tab and paste it next to the letter in the other tab.

I have seen "merge" under the file menu in Perfect Embroidery Pro.

Hi Kathryn, good question. Yes, you are fine to open a design in ToolShed from a USB. Have a great day!

Hi Becky, great question. Adding colors (splitting existing color stops) is not something that can be done in Tool Shed.

If you wanted to merge another two color design in, you can do that, though.

Whereis the mergebutton to insert different letters

Hi Mildred. I'm afraid there is no merge button. I should have said that you can copy and paste from multiple open tabs to one tab. That will get you the same results as merging, though it takes a few more steps.

Hi Judy,

Thanks for reaching out to embroidery.com! I'm sorry to hear that you've ran into issues, while trying to download the Embroidery Tool Shed. There are sometimes false positives that come from Virus protector programs. This might be what is causing this problem. We've had customers who have disabled their antivirus software, so that they could download the Embroidery Tool Shed. You can try doing that, in order to download the Embroidery Tool Shed. Since it is not unsafe, and is fine to download. I have some information on how to use VirusTotal to double check your files, just to be sure they aren't infected. I will send you that information through email. Please look for an email from [email protected]. Have a great weekend!

Hi Claude,

Thanks for the question

I believe you'll need Perfect Embroidery Pro to do something like a knock-down. To my knowledge, it's not automatic, but you have the ability to choose and edit the shapes and fill density to create your own. Here's how that works: https://www.embroidery.com/faq-diy-embossed-letter...

"Knockdown Stitches" was developed and trademarked by Embrilliance software, and their auto-knockdown is found in Embrilliance Enthusiast. https://www.embroidery.com/embrilliance-enthusiast
