I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

How To Download Embroidery Designs To My Computer


Download File 🔥 https://bltlly.com/2y7OiM 🔥



I agree with you Mary. I love InDesign + you can try before you buy. My somewhat patronising designer son told me it is perfect if you began your computer skills with Word or Publisher. It is also great fun. (I meant a son who is a designer, not a son I have designed BTW!)

This is such good information. I actually have Inkscape on my computer, but have rarely used it and not for a long time. Do you have suggestion for a link to a good tutorial. I do not understand layers among other things. I am guilty of using autotrace too. So, just a general tutorial would work also. Thanks for all your work.

I am trying to research how to create simple PDF hand embroidery designs to possibly sell online as downloads. I am new to all this. Do I understand from your article that inkscape can be used instead of Adobe illustrator to create patterns? I have very limited funds and I hear Adobe is expensive. Can you create PDF files with inkscape or only with Adobe?

If the error message "Reduce the number of patterns" appears, the USB media may contain either more than 200 embroidery patterns or the embroidery designs may contain too many colors. 


If this happens, unplug the USB media from the machine, plug it back into the computer and delete a few designs at a time from the USB media. 


Close the error message on the machine, and then repeat procedures starting from Step 11.

An easy way to get the files from your computer is to use ArtLink 7, which is a free embroidery software program available as a download from the bernina.com website. You will find the instructions for downloading the software there as well.

A new window opens up. Now when you select the EXP tab, the software will automatically send all the right files to the USB stick that you insert into the computer! Most recent BERNINA machines will read the EXP format (the 200 and 730 read both the ART and EXP files).

With 30-day Free Trial of mySewnet Embroidery Software you will get to try out the most user-friendly and feature rich digitizing software on the market. It works with all embroidery machine brands and is available for both Windows and Mac.


When you design your own embroidery in mySewnet , subdesign elements such as Lettering, SuperDesigns, Frames, and Embellishments like Ribbon, Yarn and String of Beads are initially open, or changeable, design elements.

In the Embroidery module/app, open elements have green corner handles on their select box to indicate properties can be adjusted while retaining their quality.

TIP: Make sure your mySewnet wi-fi enabled embroidery machine is connected to the internet, and is logged into your registered mySewnet account.

Your computer must also connected to the internet, and logged into your mySewnet Account from Configure .

Download and use mySewnet Embroidery Free, so you can open and view embroideries, send to a mySewnet Cloud Account, Export for use with USB, or transfer directly to your mySewnet wi-fi enabled sewing and embroidery machine.

Other suppliers of embroidery designs will have different folder structures, but all of them will specify the machine type the designs go with. Some older design collections have an executable file when the CD was loaded that prompts you to pick a machine format and destination for the embroidery files.

The drawback to using the USB stick directly is that all formats are on the stick and may slow loading the designs down. Also, the USB stick is your only copy of the designs, so be sure to make a backup or copy the designs to your PC.

Now your files are on the USB stick ready to place into your embroidery machine.Other SourcesUSB StickIf your source files are on another USB stick, the procedure for copying is basically the same.

Couple of possibilities. Although you do not have to use a Bernina USB stick you have to make sure whatever stick you use does not have an manufacturer files on it. I am not sure if there is a size restriction for USB stick on the 790 but the smaller the better i.e 4 -8 gb.

Second guess would be that the designs you have on your USB stick are too large for your hoop.

I am not overly familiar with Bernina, but I do know that in other machines I am familiar with if the design is too big for the selected hoop then the design will not show up on the machine even though it is on the USB stick. Embroidery designs will automatically open in the hoop that is closest to the size of the design unless an embroidery hoop is already attached to the machine. So have you tried loading the USB without a hoop on the machine?.

Just purchased an Elna 4 Needle Embroidering Machine. I have an Elna sewing machine and LOVE it. I know I will love this also, however, we are off to a rocky start. If I go to SET, then FORMAT page, it will not let me format the USB or the Design Card. I am using a MAC computer and the Essentials program. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

I bought the machine second hand. There is no local ELNA dealer and I am very frustrated at every step. I have been able to open files but when I stitch the letters are not correct. This happens when I use designs off the machine or ones I have downloaded. Is this a defect in the machine itself or is there a selection I am suppose to make before stitching that would correct this?

First of all, our apologies that this comment went unanswered until now. The person who used to manage Elnalife left the company and I have just taken this over again and am trying to play catch up.

In case you are still requiring assistance: here you go:

(1) The USB should NOT have a capacity of more than 8Gig as the El820 will not open designs on , for example, a 32 Gig stick.

(2) Do you have alot of designs stored ON the machine? If so, that will be using up memory on your machine and could possibly be why it wont open a new design. You will need to delete or move designs stored on the machine to your computer. I am not referring to the built in designs. They cannot be removed.

(3) are you 100% sure the design is the correct size for the largest hoop on the El820? if it is bigger, it will not open.

Hi, I have the Elna Haute Couture 9600, it does not allow me to do 152 x 253 mm embroidery, what am I doing wrong, apprently I need to select the frame but the file does not even show on my machine, but shows on the USB stick.

93) Did you select the EL8300 and the B hoop when you digitized the design in the software? Possibly you did not and the machine cannot recognize it due to this?

Embroidery designs can not be downloaded or accessed via a phone or tablet. You WILL need an actual computer to use with your embroidery machine. These other devices do not have a USB port for transferring them to your embroidery machine.

Most embroidery designs will download to your computer ZIPPED. This means that the designs are all in a pretty box with a bow on it. You will need to untie the bow. IE: UNZIP or EXTRACT the files BEFORE moving them to a USB stick. 006ab0faaa
