hello cutie, I use Buzz-tools or Buzz-edit, a friend downloaded buzz-edit from the net for me. That program opens almost any format and than I save it in the format I need(in my case also Pes.
Thanks soo much for all the answers. Sorry I haven't answered sooner but I we had a wicked thunderstorm roll through and we just got the power back.
flowers for you all.... this is a good question... very helpful to me as well! thanks and you all have fowers!
I use Embird (not free) but have also tried Wilcom TrueSizer (free). Embird does offer a free demo which is good for a period of time and/or number of downloads. When my demo period was up I tried Wilcom but was hooked on Embird. If you only want it to convert designs Wilcom is good.
thanks celticlady, I have learned alot reading your answers to other questions. Will try it.
I use "3D Embroidery software". Has always work great.
I have the 4D Embroidery system and it converts any american format to what ever format you desire. I've used in many many times, also resizes and has bunches of patterns included. But it's not free. I have found that when I download a pattern in my format 'hus' the colors are all screwed up, so i have to download in the 'pes' format then convert with my 4D to keep the correct colors. I think others have had the same problem with losing the colors on the conversion.
You've got good answer Liz. Welcome to the cute fmly *4U
Liz, I second what everyone else has said about *Wilcom TrueSizer*, it's a great little program, easy to use - and FREE! Love, hugs and flowers sweetie, and all the best with your design converting.
I use Wilcom Truesizer too. It is free and works.You have to register, but it is free.
I have used 'Wilcom Truesizer' when I have this problem. As Joanie says it is a free download and very easy to use. *4U
Thanks soo much. Sorry I haven't answered sooner but I we had a wicked thunderstorm roll through and we just got the power back.
Also if you use a freebee called "Wilcom TrueSizer". ><>
It's well worth downloading. It converts at the click of a button AND you can resize with it - actually that's what it's for in the first place - which makes it really worth having.
If you go to the link below and become a member (free) you can upload designs and have them reformatted for free. Once you sign up and log in go to Freebies, bottom left hand side of page, click on that, and you will then see "format Conversion" click on that and follow the prompts. easy as...
hugs n roses, Meganne
Oh, i should have mentioned the reformatting is instant, you don't have to wait for it to be done by a person or anything, upload, wait a few seconds then dowload in correct format of choice. hnr, M
Thanks I really apreciate yor help. I will go try it once the strom has passed. My DH is always happy when I can get help for free. Sorry I haven't answered sooner but I we had a wicked thunderstorm roll through and we just got the power back.
