EQ7 saves your projects as “.PJ7″ files on a folder on your computer.

Unless you’ve specified somewhere else, all your projects will be in the PJ7 folder, found here: (My) Documents > My EQ7 > PJ7

Why is this important? If you want to send a project to a friend, transfer projects to a new computer or backup your files you’ll need to know where they are located.

It’s also a good idea to compress the files first, so that they are smaller.
Open your project in EQ7.
Click File > Compress Project File Size…

Choose either Delete unused blocks, fabrics, embellishment, pictures and thread or Delete unused fabrics only
Click OK
Your file is now compressed.

If you want to email an EQ7 project to a friend…

Navigate to (My) Documents > My EQ7 > PJ7 and then attach it to your email

If you want to transfer files to a new computer from your old computer…

On your old computer navigate to (My) Documents > My EQ7 > PJ7
Copy all the files you’d like to transfer
Paste the files onto a USB thumbdrive, external hard drive or rewritable CD
On your new computer insert the USB thumbdrive, external hard drive or rewritable CD
Copy the files to be transferred
Navigate to (My) Documents > My EQ7 > PJ7 and paste the files

If you want to backup your files…

Navigate to (My) Documents > My EQ7 > PJ7
Copy all the files you’d like to backup
Paste the files onto a USB thumbdrive, external hard drive or rewritable CD
