Hi from Sunny Oz, I am wondering if anyone could tell me if I can convert a BMP file (bit map) into a design. I am no digitizer leave that to the clever folk. "G"

Most digitising programs can use a bmp-file just as easily as a jpeg-file. But you need to have embroidery software and the ability to digitise or have it done for you. I, too, would recommand basketcase.

Thank you for your reply. What I would like to do is offer them to someone who can make use of them. I was given them years ago, have no idea where they came from. I am trying remember how long ago, best I can do is say when I bought my first embroidery machine a Brother it only had a 4x4 hoop and use cards, that should give you an idea of how long ago. LOL

I still have a Brother that uses cards :)

I would suggest that you contact Basketkase who is a excellent digitiser to see if she can help. Either send her a PM or contact her via her website. Do let us know how you get on

I am sorry but you are out of luck I do not know of any program that converts a BMP file into a embroidery file. Some expensive machines have a scanning attachment that will turn a picture into a file. I am not sure about the quality.
