How Nä-H-exe finally brought order to their embroidery files with emborado

Who is writing this?

My name is Ivonne Exner, I am 49 years old and have been the owner of Nä-H-exe in Lünen for 14 years.
In my store, I sell fabrics, threads, haberdashery, and sewing machines. I also offer textile finishing services such as plotting and embroidery.

Especially embroidery became increasingly difficult to manage with every new request. The reason was simple. My embroidery files were scattered across many different devices and storage media.


The problem: files everywhere, but never where you need them

Some of my files are purchased spontaneously. I often buy them on my phone while sitting on the couch in the evening. Others are temporarily saved on my PC, with the intention of organizing them later. Some are stored on external hard drives or USB sticks.

The result:

  • files spread across multiple devices
  • duplicate downloads or forgotten purchases
  • no clear structure
  • no overview

Some files exist on multiple storage devices at the same time. Others were purchased but never downloaded.


My workflow before: search or buy again

In daily work, I basically had two options:

a) spend a lot of time searching and opening countless files because there was no preview
b) simply buy the file again

Neither option was efficient.

With many customer requests, this quickly became a major time drain.


How my workflow changed with emborado

Since I started using emborado, my entire workflow has improved significantly.

What used to be time-consuming and frustrating is now fast and well-structured.

I can instantly see all important information about an embroidery file:

  • preview of the design
  • exact size
  • thread colors used
  • stitch count

This allows me to immediately recognize whether it is the right file, without opening it in embroidery software first.

Especially when working with large collections, this is a huge advantage.

Constantly opening and closing files is finally a thing of the past.


The perfect combination: emborado and Brother Database Transfer

The workflow becomes even more efficient when combined with Brother Database Transfer.

While emborado helps me organize my files and quickly find the right one, Database Transfer ensures that the files are transferred to the machine in a structured way.

The process is simple and clear:

  • find the file in emborado
  • check preview and information
  • transfer the file to the machine in a structured way

This saves valuable time every single day and makes the entire process much smoother.


Conclusion: a real game changer in everyday embroidery work

After more than 20 years in embroidery, I can say that I have never worked this efficiently before.

The biggest time drain was always searching for the right file. That problem has now practically disappeared.

emborado provides:

  • structure for large file collections
  • fast access to designs
  • all relevant information at a glance
  • significantly more efficient workflows

For me, one thing is certain:

Never again without emborado.
