If you have a Viking Designer 1 series machine that uses EITHER a floppy disk or US, you can use Essentials to write designs to a formatted disk that will work in your machine. YES this can be done on EITHER a Mac or a Windows computer and does not require any other software.

1. From the Utility menu, choose the Designer 1 Disk Utility function

2. Select what type of drive you have - floppy or USB.

3. Click on Get Designs and browse to where your designs are located and select which ones you want to add to the selected menu folder on the drive.

4. Click on Write and you are DONE.

If you are writing designs to a drive that already has designs on it, be sure to back them up so they are not overwritten.

NOTE: If you READ the drive first, you can see what is on the disk in case there is something there you want to keep!
