File Types
The HQ 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. Press
Cancel
to exit the file browser without
selecting a new design to load (
Figure 5.7
).
