Thanks Lyn.  I have never tried the .dst format directly to the machine.  I know it loses the color details, but I often ignore that anyway and use my own sequencing and substituting (one reason I have no interest in a multi-needle).

I’ve not had a problem converting a format to .jef.   .dst should work in your machine, most modern machines read .dst now, .sew is an old format for Janome I think, and I think I have used it on my 350e, not sure if I’ve used it on my 12 or 15.   Not sure if =4.5 will convert automatically to .jef, if you send it to USB as the later versions do when the Janome machine and hoop are selected.  It’s been a long time since I used V4.

One of the items in the bundle was an embroidery appliqué design collection for a quilt that unfortunately does not include JEF as one of its formats, so I am going to have to convert stitch files to use it, which I actually have never done before but know can be tricky.
