In Data Manager you see two fields. They are the "source" and the"destination" and either field can be used as source and destination. Notice that you have the sewing machine and two card slots available in both fields and you just tap the one you want to work with. In this tutorial, the top part of the screen is showing you the contents of the sewing machine (this is your destination field) and the bottom part of the screen is showing you the contents of Creative Fantasy Card #4 (this is your source field). Tap the first directory (see the DIR next to the filename)on the card to highlight it. Tap the "foot pedal" icon to OPEN it so you can get to the subdirectory. (Note: you can also tap okay or tap the actual foot pedal) |

Now,that directory is open you can view the main directory of the card and another subdirectory. If you want to go back to the previous window or main directory (two small dots inside brackets) ust select it and tap the foot pedal icon again and you will see all the subdirectories. |
![]() |
One more area to open to see and retrieve the designs. Again, select that area and tap the foot pedal to open. |

Now you can see that the "path" has changed showing
the opened directories. One thing to always remember, when you are going to work back and forth between a card and the machine, or between two cards, or between two areas of the machine (copy/move/paste, etc.), you need to have a source and a destination field. In this case the source is the bottom field which is the Creative Card we inserted, and the destination is the machine's main memory in the top field. You need to have these fields selected BEFORE you do any transferring, etc., Select the "design" you want to copy. |

Once you click on the "copy icon" another window opens for you to select COPY. Rename and Move are not options when working from a card. The card is "sort of" like a CD or DVD in the fact you can't remove anything from it or rename anything on it. |

In this next window you CAN rename the design because you will be copying it to the machine's memory. If you don't want to do this so just tap the OK. You will get a message telling you to "Please Wait" and the design (EMB) will be transferred. |
