What a star you are ! This is a total game changer. I've had my Brother V5 for years and have hundreds of PES files in folders like you but rarely use them because I can't scroll through them to decide which to use. I always thought it crazy that the design wasn't visible so this has made my day. Thank you so much Ashley, Mandyx
Hi Ashley, many years ago when I dabbled with Embrilliance, it came with an extension that you had to download separately that did exactly this. In fact, I believe they started with the viewer first before releasing the full program. It might be worthwhile checking whether there is still Embrilliance software to do this. Later, 3D Embroidery for the Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff machines had their version called 3D Organiser. Three really important things I learned were: The programs had a maximum file capacity of around 2 thousand files back then but I'm not sure what their capacity is now. The more files you have, the slower it loads so think out your folder system really carefully and be as specific as you can when setting search parameters always including the .pes or whatever extension you use. If you don't, it will pull in jpgs, bmps etc that you don't want. Hope this helps someone some time.
Hi I used to use that years ago too, but it’s not available now unless you buy it and it’s quite pricey for what it is so this is a better option for me
open embrilliance and drag the file from your folder onto the embrilliance screen it should work if not open embrilliance and use File Open and search for your file, its the same as you would do with any other programme
A great Video. I appreciate all the excellent help. Question: Is there a limit to the number of folders you can import? I have a lot of folders but it didn't load them all into the software...any suggestions?
Many yers ago I had a similar programme and loved it. Sadly, the gentleman who had developed it passed away and eventually it was no longer being updated and no longer had the updated formats of many of the software programmes. I did download this one the other day but I can’t use it. I have Viking software and it only has the original Viking extensions (hus). It is now up to vp3. This programme won’t import that format, unless I’m doing something incorrectly. Hopefully, at some point they will update this one so I will will keep checking to see. Thanks so much for showing us this. 😊
Thank you so much, Ashley. I hadn't heard of it, and I will definitely be giving it a go. I love the fact that with this we can see the actual design and not just the thumbnails. Last yr I bought and made some free standing lace Xmas designs and I got exhausted having to constantly go back through them and transferring them to find out if I'd already stitched it out or not. I love that it's just so time saving and is compatible with Embrilliance, which I'm not using yet, but may do in the future. I'm dyslexic and the fact that you've given us this visual step by step this morning will help me to navigate through my current files quicker and easier. I'm taking a fb break so can't share this. I don't know if you know about the UK Machine Embroidery group on there (they also have the model of a Disney SDX in the title) the members would love this and everything else on your channel. There's also a Brother V3 V5 etc fb page, both of those groups would love your platforms and help to bring you some more traffic. ❤
The grey ones are usually the .dst or .exp, if you scroll through the designs you will normally see the other designs in pes, jef etc abd in colour or you can filter as i showed in the video and just choose your file format and you will see them in colour.
@@applelover53 I've just installed it, but it doesn't seem to support VP3 files which my PFAFF machine uses. It's still useful though to be able to see the images. I will just have to use it to find the files I want, make a note of the names and then download them manually onto my USB.
Thank you for sharing. Anyone who has an embroidery machine, has embroidery files. This website/software is a game changer.
Agree

Glad I could help
Thank you so much Ashley. Once again you’ve come up with a great tutorial. I’ve been looking for a way to organise my stitch files. Enjoy the coffee!

I cut my teeth on 3D embroidery 😊
This is great thanks for sharing. I am trying to figure out how to get design to Embrillance on a Windows machine.
open embrilliance and drag the file from your folder onto the embrilliance screen it should work if not open embrilliance and use File Open and search for your file, its the same as you would do with any other programme
Sure looks as if you can see more than in Thumbnailer. Thanks for showing this great free software
You're welcome!

Hi I think it says on the bottom of their home page, VIP and VP3 is coming soon i dont know if that will help you
That's what I'm hoping for! 🤞
Thank you for sharing! This is an awesome addition to software that does not break the bank. I wonder if there is something like this for svgs.
I’ve done other videos I think I have a Canva playlist on my channel as well

@@applelover53 Thank you. ❤️
Thank you so much. I have been looking for a free program
Glad it helped
Great informative video Ashley 🥰 you explain it all so well ❤ thanks for sharing Hugs xx
This is excellent! thank you!
I like this program a lot but many of my designs are displayed only in Grau scale. Is there a tip for getting them in color? Thanks!
The grey ones are usually the .dst or .exp, if you scroll through the designs you will normally see the other designs in pes, jef etc abd in colour or you can filter as i showed in the video and just choose your file format and you will see them in colour.
Thanks. That will be really useful

Is there an option to print a catalogue of the thumbnails?
not to my knowledge i screen shot the image and add it to the appropriate embroidery file
