 SewWhat! is software for viewing, editing and converting embroidery files arising from various different
sewing manufacturers. It can be used to write a floppy disk that is compatible with the HUS Designer-1© embroidery machine.
(For questions regarding D1 floppy creation using SewWhat!, please contact Judy.) SewWhat! is compatible with the cataloging program SewCat: files displayed in SewCat can be dragged and dropped into the SewWhat! workspace for editing. For
a complete description of the features of SewWhat!, please download the user manual (last revised Sept. 15, 2008).
