Hi all
im tagging on to an old post/ thread here because my problem is the same as the start of this.. I own my 440QE but have now an opportunity to purchase the embroidery module.
Turned up for a lesson handover yesterday, with Artline v8 loaded into my PC laptop, but we couldn’t get any images to appear. Reading here.. what is the appropriate software version? Should I download v6 from old posts here?
a bit confused and no.. I haven’t yet taken delivery of my pre loved module.. but keen to get this working.
many suggestions?
thanks!

ArtLink
No dongle required - Artlink 6.0 was released earlier this year from Bernina and is a free download from their web site. Google "Artlink 6" and go to the Bernina usa web site. Click on the Artlink 6 link, then there should be a download button on the right of the screen. Download the zip file and unzip/install on your laptop or computer that you will be using with your machine.
This is a giant leap forward because it does not require the dongle that was originally supplied with the embroidery module, in order to send embroidery designs to the Aurora or Artista machines. As purchased, the Aurora embroidery module comes with a "Lite" version of their embroidery software which allows you to connect the machine to your computer, and that the blue dongle be attached to your computer. That is NOT the case when using Artlink 6.0 - you don't need a dongle.
I have an Artista QE440 and tested it out just using the new Artlink software and it worked great, on a Windows XP computer. I also used it with an older Artista 730 - no issues with either machine. If not for this new release I would not have been able to have sold my older machine with it's embroidery module because the older version of Artlink that came with it was not compatible with newer computers.
