If you've saved your design prior to sending it to the Memory Craft 10000, your design will be sent to the sewing machine or the ATA PC Card in the sewing machine by the name you gave it when you saved it. If you have not saved your design, the design will be sent by the name of the bitmap or clipart that was used to create the design.

However, you can change the name of the design by clicking the Name button on the Send Designs dialog box. The Jef Name dialog box will appear. You can type in a new name for the design.

You create the list by selecting a design from a folder and clicking it. It will highlight and preview in the preview window. Click the Add button to add it to the list. If you've added a design incorrectly, you can click the Clear button to remove it from the list.
