YIKES...My daily embroidery USB stick just went on a bender...all my daily downloads were in a folder on the stick along with some other embroidery designs...the folder with the Dailies disappeared...just disappeared...I know the designs are still there...the only way I can seem to "find" them is to do a search on the USB...folder name by folder name...copy and paste each folder to a new USB stitk..anyone else know of another solution...I know I won't remember all of them....stupid me...the last time I backed up the stick was October 29...

I am so sorry to hear this. I too use the sticks only to transfer to machine. I keep my files on my computer and back up on a external hard drive. Maybe "rescuer" has a idea. I wish I could help

Recuva not sure on the spelling, but I know you can handle using it. I am not by my computer or I would be more help to you.
Let me know via pm if it works or not for you.

Sorry to hear of your problem. I also only use USB Sticks to transfer designs to the machine. I have lost 2 USB Sticks even doing this. I always back up my designs to a External Hard Drive as well as a older laptop. That way I have 3 copies. Hope some one can help you.

Have you tried a search using asterisk dot asterisk dot zip or your machine format (*.*.zip) (*.*.pes)? Just might work. Hugs, Cece
