I have a Husqvarna Viking Designer I sewing machine.  The designs that I have embroidered have been in the HUS or VIP format.  I found a design on AntTheGran website that does not have either of these formats listed.  Would I still be able to embroider the design?

The design is most likely PES format, which can be converted to HUS or VIP. 

If you do not have software that will convert formats, you can download Pulse Ambassador, a free program.

A link to PA can be found on the page following the agreement at DOWNLOAD DESIGNS.

I love your site, your designs are awesome, but I use the HUS format.  Anyone know how I can change from PES to HUS?

Open DOWNLOAD DESIGNS and on page two will be a link to Pulse Ambassador.  This is a free download for converting formats for machine embroidery designs.

Are none of the designs for HUS or VP3? I havea Designer SE Husqvarna Viking Machine. Is there something compatable available/

I am unable to use these designs too, really frustrating. so many beautiful ones.

I have a Bernina and the ones I got from another site were art. 

I downloaded pulse but there is no art choice there. 

anyone have bernina ?

thanks so much

I am not familiar wih Bernina, you need to discuss this issue with your dealer.  They should be able to help you with a conversion software which you may need to buy.

I have a Bernina but it uses EXP format. I tried downloading and using the Pulse Ambassador as well but was never able to get it to work. Sorry I'm no help. Anyone have any advice?? Thanks

I have EOS viewer which allows you to view a design or, using the design browser, a whole file of designs. It also does conversion. You simply open the design in whatever format it's in, and save it as the format you want to use. I'm sure it can't open every format, but it's worth checking out since it is free.

Yes I have a bernina bernette 340 and also have trouble converting from PES to EXP. I have Pulse Ambassador but can,t fiqure out how to use it-any advice from anyone?

well I've been checking into this, researching and asking everyone that'll listen and comes down to buying Bernina software at about $2000. I'm not going to be doing that jus now, but at least I know. thought I'd share.
