I just bought a newer Viking and a newer Bernina. I found out that while they now have a lot the machines can do for adjusting embroideries right on the machine, that both companies offer either a basic program actually earlier version) or a trial version where you can keep the basic conversion program after the trial, so you can open that program on your computer and open and convert other design formats to the one used by your machine. I have downloaded those basic programs from both manufacturers so I can use some of my older designs on my new machines. Will that help? Maybe Janome has something like that? Both my newer machines use an USB, but some of my older designs are on CD's or gulp...floppies. I do have an external flobby drive so I can load my old floppy designs and my desk top still has a CD drive. I don't know how you get designs into your Janome
