TIP: When I download emb file, I will copy emb file name. Then, I will right click on emb picture file & paste emb file name to emb picture name. Emb file will be side by side with emb picture.

That's the way I should be doing it to because when I look for a pic to go with the design, sometimes I have a hard time finding it because of totally different names. Thank you. *4U ><>

It's wisdom definitely... I always rename the jpg/gif image and stitch files (txt, doc) to correspond with design name (pes, hus, etc.). ;-) Saves on the headaches. ;-)

Great idea - something that I learned to do years ago - saves me more time than you can imagine. *4U

A good idea ssarner, not that I do that. I use a program called SewIconz, which allows me to see a thumbnail of all my designs using Windows Explorer. That way I can also organise all my designs into categories, e.g. flowers, animals etc. I've added the link in case you, or anyone else, wants to check it out. Hugs and a flower sweetie.

At some sites they do not allow you to copy the picture. What I do in that case is Print screen and paste into my Paint program. You can crop it so you don't have to save the whole screen shot. Then save it as a JPG, smaller than a GIF.
