FB100 Utility provides the following functions:
  • Read a Brother Pattern Disk and store the contents in a file on your computer
  • Write a Brother Pattern Disk from a file stored on your computer
  • Format a Brother Pattern Disk
  • Extract the patterns from a Brother Pattern Disk and store them as DesignaKnit PAT files on your computer
  • Show pictures of patterns on a track.

Applications:

  1. Backup: you don't have to worry anymore about the fact that your disks might fail. Their contents is stored safely on your computer. You can save the contents rather easy to a CD ROM.
  2. Documentation: you can find the pattern you want to knit very easy by browsing the pictures on your computer. You don't have to ask yourself the question: where is the bit of paper I wrote the contents of the disk on?
  3. Make copy: when you want to provide someone with a copy of a Brother Pattern Disk, you can create a new disk from the file stored on your computer.
  4. In case one of your disks develops a defect, you just create a new disk with the same contents.
  5. You can format disks on your computer.
  6. DesignaKnit users can import the pattern files in DesignaKnit.
  7. A DesignaKnit user can deploy the BL7USB as a Screenlink, given the user has a Knitlink Arm.
  8. The latest update now adds .bmp graphic files and you  may view all designs within Windows Explorer or any graphic program!!
