1. Open the Email with the Attachment:
– Access your email client (like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.).

2. Download the Embroidery File:
– Hover over or click on the attachment (it might have an extension like `.pes`, `.jef`, `.dst`, etc., depending on the format your machine accepts).

– Right-click on the embroidery file and choose ‘Copy’ or simply drag the file.
– Go to ‘This PC’ or ‘My Computer’ and open the flash drive (it might have a name like “USB Drive” or “Removable Disk”).
– Inside the flash drive, right-click on an empty space and choose ‘Paste’ or simply drop the dragged file to copy it to the flash drive.

5. Safely Eject the Flash Drive:
– Once the file transfer is complete, it’s essential to safely eject the flash drive to prevent data corruption.
– Close any open windows related to the flash drive.
– Click on the USB or eject icon in your system tray (usually located in the bottom right corner of your screen) and select the option to eject the flash drive.
