I think Acrobot (spelling) is the only program I use to download and copy embroidery files. You can download it for free if your computer doesn't already have it, I believe.

Pulse ambassador is a free download off the internet. Very easy to use and will allow you to see your design. Also ken wards program to unzip files is nice too. Hope that is helpful. Have fun with your machine.There are many free designs onthe internet and it allows you to try out a specific site before you purchase. Lolita

I downloaded Edit Express Lite for free to view and drop files to be embroidered. Why don't you surf for some free pes files that are not zipped, then give your unit a whirl????
