designs without having to open them in a Embroidery program. (they open in windows explorer as a thumbnail...which is so easy to view). It takes ages going through them in Customizer where you have to open one at a time to view what you are looking for. Anyway my question is ...is there another free program someone out there has downloaded that does the same...or maybe one I can purchase here in Australia.

I do hope I explained myself properly.

I did down load it but eveytime I went to open a file it took so long...and then it stated that it was not an embird file..go figure ...works for you and not for me.
thanks raelene

when your designs are in documents, you can see them with wilcom, and it is free.

Wilcom has to be opened and running doesn't it?? where as SewIconz just open up in your download area on the computer once you unzip it. but I will download wilcom and check it out again. thank you Maria for that.

Don't ask me why but JEF is the only format it can be viewed as a thumbnail in my computer, so everytime I download something, I do both, XXX and Jef. If I figure out 'why' I will tell you. :) Hugs,Y

Sew Iconz is the only program I have found that stands alone and does this. I bought it quite a while back. At $20us - even with the exchange rates, it's the best/cheapest option I know of. Embird iconizer does similar but you have to have embird first!
