How to move your own motifs, stamps, borders, fabrics, thread charts, ESA files from v1 to v2.0 Hatch
NOTE: this does NOT apply to v2.1D and later! If you are not sure of what version you are running click on Help > About. The last line will give you the version you are running. V2.0 is Oct. 2018. V2.1 is Oct. 2019. This is a free update if you own v2.0, so you should take advantage of getting it now.
I have created either motifs, stamps, borders, auto fabrics, or thread charts in Hatch v1. How do I get them into Hatch v2.0?
First > close both your Hatch v1 and Hatch v2.0 if it is running.
You will want to copy these from your V1 Programs Folder before you uninstall your Hatch v1 software. You will then past them into the same folder for your Hatch v2 software.
Then restart your Hatch v2 software and check for the files.
