Converting Designs
Samples and free designs are offered in one format only but you can convert designs very easily and inexpensively.
Please note that if you have software that came with your machine or that you bought to go with your machine, chances are that you can already convert designs on your own. If you are unsure how to proceed, the instructions of option 2 might be helpful for you.
There are also conversion softwares that are available for free or at low cost on the Internet.
OPTION 1.
If you do not already own software, a good software to convert designs with great results that will also do all of the editing you ever need would be Embird... which you can get for a free 30 days trial here...
WILCOM TRUESIZER
Scroll down and go click on "GET TRUESIZER DESKTOP" (You might need to register first if you haven't already.)
