The BL7-USB FB100 Utility - The FB100 Utility is a stand alone product. It's purpose is to allow your Personal Computer's diskette drive to function just like a FB100. You do not need to own DesignaKnit to use this product. It does, however, have the ability to export a Brother format file to DesignaKnit for those who own DAK. The BL7-USB FB100 Utility has the following functions:
  1. Converts Non-Brother Files From Other Systems - Convert non-Brother files into Brother files (see the list of file types in the table at the bottom of this page). E.g., convert a .CUT (Passap) file into a Brother file automatically.
  2. Backup: you don't have to worry anymore about the fact that your diskettes might fail. Their contents is stored safely on your personal computer. You can save the contents easily to a CD ROM for a permanent copy.
  3. View and Organize Files: You can view ALL of your patterns on your PC in color or black and white in either of two formats: 1) as a catalogue where all the files are shown on a screen; and 2) as individual files. You won't have to write numbers and names on a piece of paper (that usually gets lost) any longer. No more sorting through diskettes.
  4. Several File Print Out Options: Choose to print out files in either color or black and white. Chose to print the thumbnails as a directory listing or individual files.
  5. Make copies: If  you want to provide someone with a copy of a Brother Pattern Disk, you can create a new Brother format diskette from the file stored on your computer.
  6. Diskette Failures: If an original diskette develops a defect, create a new diskette with the stored contents on your PC.
  7. Format Diskettes Using Brother Format: You can make Brother formated diskettes on your personal computer.
  8. DesignaKnit Applications: DesignaKnit users can import Brother format pattern files into DesignaKnit. A DesignaKnit user can use the BL7USB as a Screenlink (knit from screen) with the optional Knitlink Arm.
