Hatch Embroidery allows you to create files or ‘assets’ of various kinds during normal use. The most important of these are your actual embroidery designs. But there are other assets you may create, such as design templates, custom motifs and borders. These are preserved from installation to installation, whether installing a new version of Hatch Embroidery or an update patch. However, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the locations and file names of your custom assets for various reasons...
In the first instance, you should back up your custom assets in case of computer crash.
Also, you may want to share assets with other Hatch Embroidery users, or install third-party assets such as custom fonts.
Finally, if you want to install your software to a new computer, you will need to manually copy the contents of your asset folders to the new locations.
Tip: In order to preserve any custom assets, do not uninstall your existing version of Hatch Embroidery. Any new updates can be installed over top of your existing installation. If you want to move Hatch Embroidery to another PC, you will need to manually transfer any custom assets you have created or received from third parties.
