Changing embroidery formats
I recently bought a Brother embroidery machine which uses PES format. I already had a Bernina which uses ART. I was told to download a program called Wilcom TrueSizer to convert the designs I had on hand. It probably doesn't do as many things as Embird but it is free and since I am not really that much into embroidery, it meets my needs. You might give it a look.
