First, choose designs that fit within the machine sewing field size of 150mm x 240mm or 5.90 inches x 9.44 inches. Designs in either .hus/Viking format or .dst/Tajima format can be opened in DISK MANAGER. After the design is open, click the button on the toolbar that allows writing a design to a high-density floppy disk. During the transfer process, the .hus/Viking format or .dst/Tajima format file is converted to the machine format of .shv/large sewing field size Viking format, and written to a 3.5 floppy disk. Next, insert this disk into a Designer series machine for stitching out. Preparing the data in other Viking programs appears to insert needle drops into the jump information of the design. This produces stitch down lines. Additionally, design data may become corrupted when you save a design after changing its colors. Using DISK MANAGER to prepare the design data appears to be a more effective way for transferring data to a floppy disk for stitching out. If resizing is necessary, consider investing in Dakota Sizer or Dakota AlphaSizer. After the design(s) are resized, save to .hus/Viking format or .dst/Tajima format. Bring the design up in DISK MANAGER and save to a floppy disk for stitching out.
