Just came home today with my first embroidery machine - husqvarna designer SE. Looking at all the really cool designes to download - what form do I save it in? This info seems to be missing.

Congratulations on your new machine.
Ideally you should download vp3, if not then vip, which holds more information than hus, which can still be used but is the format from the superseded HusqEmbroidery software. The current Husqvarna/Pfaff software 4D/5D uses vp3, but can read many other formats without any problem.
Your machine can read .SHV, .DHV, .VP3, .VIP, .HUS, .PEC, .PES, .XXX, .SEW, .JEF, .EXP, .10* and .DST and a couple of others. So you don't have to convert in your software, but can place those formats directly on your USB stick.
I think hyou could find this information in your manual under 'File Manager'.

I wish you a long and trouble free lifetime of pleasure with your new machine.
Hugs and roses, Meganne

463408Well, found out yesterday that they did not give me all the disks for the computer software. Thus I could not open the designs that were loaded. Feeling better that it was not operator error!! They have to order me a disk!
361Congrats! I have the SE also and love it. I see you have your answer from some other cuties. THis group is great and so much help. Come often, stay and visit, you'll definitely be hooked....hope you have the time ;)

81506339Hello Nancy and WELCOME to CUTE! You will love it here, everyone is so helpful. I have the Husqvarna designer SE LE and I love mine. I usually download in the hus format but I read somewhere in the users guide that the vp3 was prefered because of colors. Our machines will read almost all formats or you can convert them to the one you want.
HAPPY STITCHING!!
5552Actually, The Designer SE will take any format except ART. I usually download in PES, VIP, VP3 or HUS. You can download in other formats as well such as SEW, JEF, EXP, PCS and a couple of others. I haven't tried any of the newer formats that may have come out in the last year or so. I just stick with the ones I know. I have the Designer SE and LOVE IT! I also have the 4D software. Thinking of upgrading at some point. Good luck and enjoy the Cutie community. If you got the software, you can convert to other formats.

12165Welcome to the best embroidery site on the net. You'll love coming here not only to make friends but to learn a lot about your new endeavor into embroidery. I see you've gotten your answer about the format you need to save in but they should have told you this at your dealer. Does your dealer offer you free lessons? If so take them until you become familiar with your machine....I know you are excited to get started and if you're not careful every thing in the house will end up with a design on it. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Happy Stitching!

7969Welcome to the CUTEst Group on the Web. :) There is a lot of info from all over the world right.
36693Welcome to the family. I have a Husqvarna Viking Topaz 20. You will love the machine. DeVon
72397Dear Nancy,
Welcome to this wonderful site. I have the Husqvarna SE too and I can also use VIP and VP3. If you have any questions just ask there are no silly questions, because someone might just need to know that one question that you ask.
This site is very addictive, you will be on here for hours. Just check out every TAB. On the left hand side of the page you can see a listing of TUTORIAL. Have a look at that because there are some helpful hints in it.
Anyway a big Aussie welcome from me. Love and blessings Chris, Newcastle, Australia.

I use WINRAR to change a format to suit my machine. Forget to mention that when I wrote this morning.

Yes, I'm in the US - NY state to be more exact. Thanks for the welcome. Lots to learn, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this site!
11357Welcome to the Cute Family, I see u have your answer. Tip when downloading free designs:- save them in folders by designer eg, CUTE - Amazing - Cute Alphabets - Adorable Applique - Sick etc. this way when someone asks where did you get that design from you will know. Best of Luck & Enjoy. *4u
