Hi Marian, what format do you want to convert the Husqvarna VP3 to? I believe that Husqvarna, Pfaff and Brother are made by the same manufacturer, so I know they use PES. There are a couple of programmes I've put down here for you. Love Chris
P.S. I know there are others, but I'm sure someone else will come along with them.

WinRar and Winzip only unzip files, what you need to convert embroidery files is an embroidery program.As I have the VSM software 6D premium (for Husqvarna and Pfaff) and Embird as well, I never investigated free programs other than Wilcom Truesizer, which also has a Pro version that offers more than resizing and converting but is not free. There was an introductory offer for it, but I think that ended 1st of July.

If you only want to change file format there is a FREE program.<br /><br />

Send me a PM using inbox as I use for quick view and don't need my dongle.

I use Wilcom Truesizer or Pulse Ambassador which each have a free d/l. They also have more to their programs but it is purchased.
