SewCat is software for cataloging embroidery and quilt files stored on your computer and external media (CDs, USB drives, etc). With SewCat , embroidery (and quilt) files can be selected and viewed in specific folders and then dragged-dropped into user-defined folders in a “virtual” catalog. Files in the virtual catalog can be renamed and tagged with keywords (for quick searching). They may appear in multiple folders in the VC without increasing the disk space already allocated for the original embroidery files.

SewCat Workspace
You may select file(s) in the middle pane with your mouse, and drag/drop them into the Virtual Catalog tree. Note that the files are not really moved around on your hard-drive this way, but are only stored in a “virtual” list making up the Virtual Catalog. In this way, very little room on your hard-drive is occupied by the Virtual Catalog. Once the Virtual Catalog is saved, it can be restored and you can easily find files according to either keywords that you assigned or by judicious choices for the folder names. Files may be dragged and dropped from either the middle pane or the Virtual Catalog into most embroidery file editors.
