Perfect Stitch Viewer
DIME Embroidery Tool ShedIn this video, Eileen demonstrates how to download, install, and use Perfect Stitch Viewer and Embroidery Tool Shed together. If you were wondering why downloading Perfect Stitch Viewer seemed to give you Tool Shed instead, you'll be happy to know that you actually received BOTH programs when you ordered Perfect Stitch Viewer!
When you purchase Perfect Stitch Viewer, you also get an included download of Embroidery Tool Shed. Here is the link for help with download and installation that Eileen mentions:

6. Once Perfect Stitch Viewer is registered you will exit Embroidery Tool Shed and open a folder on your hard drive where your embroidery files are located. Make sure the windows preferences are set to large icons and your embroidery files will now show as thumbnails.
Hi Janice, I just spoke with you over the phone. For the interest of anyone reading the forum, the solution we came up with was to choose "Large Icons" from the explorer view menu. Allthough you had done this, somehow windows had switched back to "Detail View"

There hasn't been one focused Perfect Stitch Viewer yet, but I'm sure there will be. There was a good one on using Embroidery Tool Shed that also mentioned adding Perfect Stitch Viewer, if you're interested in that:

I purchased and installed Perfect Stitch Viewer, but had some difficulties in the registration process. Now I click on the embroidery tool shed icon, and the Perfect Stitch Viewer icon shows "activated". but I am not seeing thumbnail images when I scroll through my files. I do have the large icons selected in windows explorer view. Not sure what to do.
