Making sure that you can use Embroidery Magic Software
Using the dst embroidery machine file format
EM 2 and EM 1 save in the dst machine stitch format, which is an almost universal
format that converts well to any format. The dst format can be used by most
of the Magic Boxes, Amazing Boxes and other reader / writer boxes that transfer
designs from your computer to a memory card or machine.
If you have a Magic Box or other reader / writer transfer box or software to
transfer your designs to a card / machine to get the designs to your machine
it can probably use the dst format and conversion is not needed.
If
you have almost any Bernina software then you can use it to convert to ART or
pes format and then use your method to transfer your designs to your machine.
Most of the time conversion is not necessary as noted above.
There are several free conversion programs available that can convert formats
to almost any machine format, except shv and ART.
