I completely understand GRMA33's ''semantics"..she wants to see what designs the little icons represent. My design icons are red parrots PE Design), or yellow squares (My Editor) and for me to see which I want to embroider, I have to plug the reader/writer box into the computer and open the software program, or open the Editor program. We want it to be simpler and allow us to "see" our designs before loading to the machine. This is the easiest 'viewer' I've found for free,

but I am not sure it reads the jef format. Just trying to clarify.

You got it Mermaid SIMPLE!lol
I contacted Janome so will see what they say and let you know.
thanks all Gale

Some people like to print off the design to follow the thread colors at their machine...others pull up the design on their computer to follow the colors. My machine has a lge color screen, so I just like to view my designs on the computer to select what I want to stitch. The above viewer program lets you print off one design or 24 thumbnails--and that is handy for saving in a notebook! I hope your machine people can guide you to a solution.
