I own a brother and a Babylock, They both use the same Format PES. When you go to a web site to download a design just make a folder for your embroidery on your computer, down load your design to that folder. Then when you want to use it you can down load to your CD, disc or memory stick, whatever your machine uses.
Also when you down load your design from a lot of sites you can print out a thread and design chart.
