File Types

The Pro-Stitcher will read four file types directly:

*.hqf, *.qli, *.txt, and *.tap. Pro-Stitcher cannot

read encrypted files or *.txt files that were created

for computerized quilting systems with proprietary

formats.

Load

To load a design of one of these four file types, press

the Design menu tab on the left (Figure 5.4). Then

press the File sub-menu if it is not already selected

and press the Open button at the bottom of the

screen (Figure 5.5).

Browse to the desired design stored either on the C:

drive or on a removable disk. The different design

file types have color-coded backgrounds as follows:

*.hqf: Beige

*.qli: Light blue

*.txt: Lavender

*.tap: Pink

Loading the thumbnails may take a few moments,

depending on how many designs are stored in the

selected directory and how intricate those designs

are. While the thumbnails are being loaded, a

colored block with the name of the file type will

be visible in place of the actual design thumbnail

(Figure 5.6).
Double-tap the name of the desired file or single-tap

and then press Open in the file browser to open the

design. A prompt to Clear Area appears onscreen.

Choose Yes to clear the area or no to leave the area

as designated. Press Cancel to exit the file browser

without selecting a new design to load (Figure 5.7).
