I have used Embird for years and find it a really good program

I think TrueSizer might be of use for that and I have done many edits with it. But there is also SewWhat Pro, which is not very expensive, and will ‘bulk convert’ entire subfolders between

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

I have Janome V5.5 and have used V4 and V5. 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

I have the Embrilliance modules you mentioned and am so beyond pleased with them. I am able to find all kinds of tutorials thru Bubbles menagerie (Lisa Shaw) and their tech help response is amazing. I

Cat, Yes, I did get lucky with that one! Somehow I don't think it would have made it through the size 12 needle. :}

Hi Jim – I have started having the identical problem with my Janome 500E of the thread being “shredded” on the top thread. There is absolutely NOTHING that I have not changed, or tried. . .

OMG…what a nasty mess you’d have had if that had made it into the needle! To be honest, I saw the photo in the album and no explanation (hadn’t received your email yet) and wondered if you were
