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. Print a catalog of the patterns on a track (color and grey scale).
  9. Print pattern (color and grey scale).
