Introduction
Thank you for using our embroidery design software On Screen Designer.
On Screen Designer enables you to create original embroidery patterns from the screen of your
Baby Lock household computerized sewing machine equipped with an embroidery function. Carefully

functions and the correct operation of this software.

This Instruction Manual does not contain explanations on the operation of the sewing machine. For
details on using the sewing machine functions to edit embroidery patterns, refer to the Instruction
Manual for the sewing machine.

Use of this software for unauthorized duplication of optional embroidery cards or newspapers,

What You Can Do With This Software
This software allows you to create original
patterns just by using the pen to draw
images and text on the screen of the sewing
machine and painting the drawing with the
desired colors as easily as drawing images
and text on paper with a pen.
Until now, you could select various
characters from those available, combine
them, and then embroider the characters.
However, now you can write your signature
on the screen, and then embroider it.
The created embroidery patterns can be
resized, combined with characters and
images and freely arranged in the sewing
machine’s embroidering or embroidery-
editing screen in the same way that built-in
embroidery patterns are.
Embroidery patterns that can be created with this software
Lines of the drawing are sewn with satin stitches and areas are sewn with fill stitches.
The following settings can be specified.
1Satin stitch (lines): thickness and stitch density
2Fill stitch (areas): sewing direction and stitch density
Line thickness: 1.0 mm
Fill stitch sewing direction:
Line thickness: 3.0 mm

Precautions on the Use of the Display
•Only touch the screen with your finger or the pen included with the sewing machine. Do not use a
mechanical pencil, screwdriver or any other hard or sharp object. In addition, do not press the
screen with extreme pressure, otherwise the screen may be damaged.
•All or part of the screen may sometimes become darker or lighter due to changes in the surrounding
temperature or other changes in the environment. This is not a sign of a malfunction. If the screen
is difficult to read, adjust its brightness.
•The screen may be dark immediately after the sewing machine is turned on. This is a normal
characteristic of the backlight and is not a malfunction. After approximately 10 minutes, the screen
should reach its normal level of brightness.
•If you are not directly facing the screen, the colors may be distorted or the screen may be difficult
to read. This is a normal characteristic of the screen and is not a malfunction. Be sure to sit in front
of the screen while using it.
Floppy Disks
Important:
Data on floppy disks may be lost due to normal wear of the disks. Therefore, in order to
prepare for the event that a floppy disk can no longer be used, we recommend that you
back up the application software.
The sewing machine reads this software and starts it up from floppy disks. In addition, data
created with this application is stored on the floppy disks. Follow the precautions below when
handling the floppy disks.
• Be sure to use Windows-formatted 2HD floppy disks.
•Data on floppy disks may be lost due to normal wear of the disks. We recommend that you back
up important data.
•Do not insert a floppy disk containing pattern data other than those saved using our application.
(Only .pmd and .phc data can be used.)
•If the magnetic head is dirty, data on floppy disks may not be read correctly. We recommend using
a commercially available cleaning disk to periodically clean the magnetic head. (For details on
cleaning, refer to the Instruction Manual provided with the sewing machine.)
•Do not leave floppy disks in a dusty location, for example, where they are exposed to paper dust,
otherwise the disks may be damaged. Be sure to store floppy disks in a hard case.
•Do not leave floppy disks where they are exposed to magnetic fields, such as near televisions or
magnets, otherwise the data may be lost.
• When storing data on floppy disks, the floppy disks must not be write-protected.
•If the file name of embroidery data cannot be identified, for example, the name contains special
characters, the names are not displayed. If this occurs, change the name of the file.
•Do not create folders in floppy disks. If embroidery data is stored in a folder, that embroidery data
cannot be displayed by the sewing machine.
