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.

You've got good answer Liz. Welcome to the cute fmly *4U

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.

I use Embird for my conversions...

I use "3D Embroidery software". Has always work great.

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.
