Please post which model your Designer is. My Designer SE reads all formats except for ART. I have the 4D software. However, there could be newer formats out there that I'm not familiar with that it won't read. If you have the software, you can go to "Organizer", click on "file" on the top left of the screen, go down to where it says "Convert Embroidery". A screen will pop-up and it will give you options as to which format you want to save it to and where you want to save it. Hope this helps.
I have both the Designer1 and the Ruby. If you have the Designer1 (or the quilt Designer) you have to convert pes to one of the viking formats: hus, vip or vp3. Only the newer models like the SE, the Ruby or the Diamond can read other formats as well. Do you have any Viking software? That lets you convert before loading it to an E-card or floppy. You just load it in the software, use 'save as' and choose hus or vip and then load it onto your card or diskette. Those use the shv-format but that's automatically done in the reader/writer programme.
Willcom true Sizer is very good to change format,among many other things, it can even change emb to any format, It is FREE,(don't we love that word?) I have it and I like it very much, Embird is very good too, but it only 30 days trial. Welcome to Cuties!!!!
You are going to love your machine. I have one and love it.
Welcome to cute. You will love it here.
Welcome to Cute! Bikermom answered your question. Alot of people have your machine, and this is THE place to come for help :)
your designer will read pes exactly as it is, all you need to do is load it like any other design you use, either on your floppy, card or stick. you are also good on vip, vp3 and several others without converting. have fun and welcome to cute!
