General information
on working with your PC
and software
Futura - English 1-01
Welcome to the exciting world of software products !
In case this is the first time you are attempting to work with software, it is very possible that you are very cautious and afraid of this
new field of activity.
Nevertheless have no fear, it is not as hard as it might seem. Little
by little you will find that computers and software are great tools to
help your work. In this case the FUTURA software is an amazing tool
to help you design and produce your own personalized embroidery
results.
In the field of embroidery consider your sewing machine as a
“printer” and the FUTURA software as the tool which will give you
the power to design anything you have in mind and want to “print”,
that is to sew out on your machine. There is no limit set to what you
can imagine and do.
However, as every new field it requires some time to get adjusted
and learn little by little.
Study through all the sections provided in this software, follow the
examples and you will see that in no time you will be able to easily
handle the software. Don’t be afraid to try and experiment as this is
an important part of the procedure of learning in general.
Before we get into the sections of what the software is offering and
how you will be able to use it, allow us to give some brief intro on
general tasks related to the operating system your PC is running on,
the famous Microsoft Windows.

General Windows Tasks
Whichever edition of Microsoft Windows your PC might be running,
whether it is Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows
NT or Windows XP (and FUTURA runs on all of these), this is the
operating system of the PC. This means that Windows actually “run”
and coordinate all the hardware parts a PC consists of. Simply put it
is like the brains of the machine whereas all parts are pretty “dump”
Futura - English 1-01
if not being run by the operating system
All other software products run on top of this operating system,
Microsoft Windows in our case, and this is also the case for the
FUTURA software.
It is necessary to get familiar with basic Windows functions for the
easiest interaction with your PC, as well as using FUTURA productively.
There are a number of common tasks used in computers with Windows (computer operating system). While there are many different
versions of Windows, the procedures for the subjects listed here are
basically the same for any of them.
The explanations and exercises may help you to be more confident
before you even launch your embroidery software.
For those of you already familiar with working with software products it is possible to skip this chapter and proceed to the next one
but remember “repetition is the mother of knowledge” if you would
like to go through it one time.

There are some very basic ways in which the “Mouse”, the little
plastic unit with two buttons, a turning dial (on some models) and
an attached wire (on most models) that connects to the back of the
computer.
Double-click (with left button)
This is two quick clicks. You may have to practice to get the hang
Futura - English 1-01
of how quick to click. Generally, the double-click action is used to
open something (like a folder), or launch something (like a program). Most often, the double-click option is the 1st step in a task.
Click
You may use the right-click (right button
on the mouse) to pull up the “Open”
option (or choose from other options
from the fly-out box) instead of using the
double- click option.
This is a short, light, click using the left button on the mouse.
Generally, the click is used for selecting or choosing something. It
can be used to confirm a selection as well. Most often, the click is
the 2nd option for a task.
Right-click
This short, light, click of the right button on the mouse usually
opens additional options. A “fly-out” box will appear giving options
relative to the item that was right-clicked.
When selecting an option from the f ly-out
boxes, a click will be used.
Scroll button
This button is used to scroll the screen up or down in any screen.

Files and Folders
How your computer is organized
Your computer is comprised of many programs (such as your embroidery software), folders and files . If you take the time to acquire
some basic skills in handling files, you will be able to do your work
with ease. Let’s get started.
Installation:
General information on working with your PC and software
On your desktop (the screen that opens when you power up your
computer), there is an icon (a graphic symbol and title of a program
or feature) called “My Computer”. Inside are all of the contents of
your computer! You will be able to choose from the Hard drive
(most often the C: drive); the Floppy drive (usually the A: drive); or
Futura - English 1-01
the CD Rom drive (often the D: drive).
Let’s take a look:
Step-by-Step
>1 Double-click on “My Computer”.
>2 Double-click the C: drive.
Here you can see all the files and folders that have previously been
stored on your computer which brings us to that subject:
Make New Folder
Before you try to save embroidery designs onto your computer, you
should make a folder with a recognizable name.
Step-by-Step
>1 (With the C: drive still open) select “File/New (a fly-out box
will open)/Folder”. You will see a new folder created.
>2 In the slot (which is awaiting a title), type the name of your
new folder (perhaps your own name).
>3 Hit the “Enter” key (on the keyboard) to confirm the name.
You should now be able to see your new folder on the C: drive.
Copy files
If you want to make duplicate or backup files, you will need to copy
a file.
Step-by-Step
>1 Select “Back” at the top/left of your screen. This takes you
back one step (from the C: drive).

Step-by-Step
>2 Place a disk with an embroidery file or other type of file into
the floppy drive.
>3 Double-click on the Floppy A: drive.
>4 Click on one of the files on the Floppy.
>5 Right-click on the file.
Futura - English 1-01
>6 Select “Copy” from the fly-out box.
Open folder
Now we must open the folder where we want to place the copied
file.
Step-by-Step
>1 Select “Back” at the top/left of your screen. This takes you
back one step (from the A: drive).
>2 Double-click on the C: drive.
>3 Double-click on the New Folder (that you created).
Now that we have an appropriate folder open:
Paste files
Now we can paste the file that we copied.
18
Step-by-Step
>1 Right-click and choose “Paste” from the fly-out box.
The file that was copied should now appear in the New Folder.
Rename files
If you want more than one version of a file, such as a different size
of an embroidery design, it may be necessary to rename one of the
files.
Installation:
General information on working with your PC and software
Step-by-Step
>1 Right-click on the file that was pasted into the new folder.
>2 Select “Rename” from the fly-out box.
>3 Type a new name (in the awaiting title box).
Futura - English 1-01
>4 Choose “Enter” on the keyboard to confirm the new name.
Delete files
If you have excess files that need to be cleaned up from a folder:
Step-by-Step
>1 Right-click on the file to be eliminated.
>2 Choose “Delete” from the fly-out box. Answer “Yes” to con-
firm the deletion.
Restore files
A file can be restored if it was accidentally deleted.
Step-by-Step
>1 Select “File/Close” to exit the folder.
>2 Double-click on the “Recycle Bin” on the desktop.
>3 Right-click on the file that was just deleted.
>4 Select “Restore” from the fly-out box, or from the left of the
screen.
The file that was deleted has now been restored to the original location.
Open files
A file must be opened with a program that recognizes that file
type. For example, if you are trying to open a Stock Embroidery Design (whether it resides on the computer, a CD, or a floppy disk), you
must have a program open that can “see” it. Or if you have a document file, a Word Processing program must be opened in order to
read and write the file.

Step-by-Step
>1 Double-click on the icon on the Desktop or in “My Com-

“launches” the program.
>2 Click on “File/Open” to open a file.
Save/Save As files
When you have made any changes to a file, or wish to save this
design onto your computer...
Step-by-Step
>1 Select “File/Save As” to give your design a name. Changes
made after the initial saving need only “Save” because you
already have a name.
>2 Close the program if desired.
Screens
There are some common ways in which to handle screens whether
the screen is an embroidery design or some other type of program
or file.

In most programs there is a “Blank” screen that is the foundation for
opening files.
