I was sure there would be someone that has a Bernina that would respond to your needs. If you bought your machine from a dealer they should be able to help you maybe even over the phone. Alot of dealers also offer free classes for the operation of the machine. My Viking dealer has really been helpful.
There is usually a device for transfering designs, example: USB, floppy, memory stick, or a reader/writer device. You may need special software to accomplish the task but the dealer should have let you know.
Good luck in your endeaver.
Maybe by bringing this to the top someone will see it.

Welcome to cute. Good luck at finding your answer.

Welcome to the Cute Family!! I have a Janome 300E, so I really can't help much with your question, except to agree that there has to be either a USB connection right to the machine, or like mine has, a flash card that then goes into the machine with the designs on it. I'm sure there are Bernina users here who will be able to help you more when they see this question. Best of luck, and Happy Sewing on your new baby!!! Marji

Wow, I wish that I could help you. I have a Bernina aurora 440, and I use artista software that has a dongle that allows the computer to talk to the machine and of course a cord, but I'm not sure what you need. What software are you running?

Sweetie ,contact a Bernina dealer to see what you have and what you are missing. I have a 730E and i love it. I know you will be happy with your Bernina!!

How exciting I have a Bernina too, but I don't have the Aurora 430. Do you have a dealer in your area that could help you? In Georgia, there is an awesome dealer, and they are really helpful. Besides, if you got it from a dealer, they should provide free lessons and help. If you didn't buy it from a dealer, I still think a good dealer could help you. If you can't get help for it, send me a private message, and I will try to find out for you. Did it come with the Editor lite software? Did you install it? One more thing. Did you try the help feature in the software? Transferring designs to machine... or something similar. I hope you are able to figure it out.
