I've never had to format a USB stick, I buy them put designs on them and put them in my machine or most of the time I just run them from the USB to save memory space on my machine, which will help it run better.

pewa88, I don't have your machine but I do have a couple of others and one thing that I've always been cautioned about from different teachers, most machines have problems using large USB sticks. I guess that's why most come with a 2 or 4G. I know that its nice to have every thing on one stick but the machines don't always like it. Can't hurt to try a smaller one, they are really cheap.

What machine do you have? All 3 of my Janomes the stick wouldn't work unless it was first formatted in the machine. I run designs from the stick too unless I edit something and might use it again, then I'll save to the machine memory.

Dilemma solved. I finally talked with a lady that works at the sewing shop where I bought the machine. The problem I was having was not placing the files into the EMB folder and then into the EMBF folder after sending them to the USB stick. After she explained that to me it worked. PTL. I tell you I was literally in tears. Those machines cost too much not to be able to use them out of the box and then think it is a big problem. I was stressed. I also found that technical support from Janome is poor! They actually refer you back to the dealer. But I am up and running now and the machine is great, so much faster and better stitch quality than my 300E. I have done 2 burp cloths and 3 bibs for the new grandbaby.

Well, I am glad to hear you had solved your problem and even more that you told us how you actually did it....we all have learning curves in the way and we all learn from each other in here....

What is the difference between an EMB folder and an EMBF folder?
I'm still a beginner but want to understand as much as possible. Thanks in advance!

Sushi, From what I can understand is that the EMB is the file and the EMBF is a sub file or inner file within EMB. If I am not correct, someone please chime in. I do know that any USB stick that you use must be formatted by the machine itself before you can transfer designs to the stick. Hope this helps.

Thanks pewa88. While I still don't have a good grasp, you've given me a stool to stand on
