The free ARTlink program only works the other way round - from ART to pes. Same applies to other software except the Bernina one. The only way to do it legally is buy the (expensive) Bernina software yourself.
Go to the Bernina Website and download BERNINA Embroidery Software ARTlink 8 (FREE) as it is the ONLY way to convert to ART!
I will give you the South African website link! GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE AND YOU WILL SEE A GREEN "START DOWNLOAD" CLICK ON THAT!

There is actually a GREEN BAR that says "START FREE DOWNLOAD" BEFORE the other DOWNLOAD too!
