How to transfer a design form computer to the embroidey machine

Check that the designs are not in a folder on the disk. Your sewing machine may need to open that folder before the designs can be found.

Also, check to make sure the OS software on your computer is compatible with your sewing machine. Some sewing machines use Windows 7 or even earlier versions, whereas most new computers now have Windows 8 or 10.

.Jef and .Dst will work on a Janome machine. You can buy designs per the hoop sizes for your machine. Buy, download, and transfer received file to a USB drive to transfer deign to machine.

Sounds like you don't have the device driver on you computer for the sewing machine. Question: Did it ever work? If it used to work but doesn't now, try using a different cable from the computer to the sewing machine. You can also try rebooting the computer (with the sewing machine connected and powered up) to see if it will locate the machine.

Machine designs first designator is the file name. Your machine shows the file number for the design you want. You do still need to "select" that design number shown to actually begin teh file transfer from a thumb drive or cable direct from your computer if your machine has that feature.

If you purchase a reader/writer unit with a rewritable memory card in the format for your machine, you will not need additional cards.

Copy the designs from the CDs to the hard drive or insert the CD as you need to access a certain design and then copy the selected designs to the memory card.

The card can only store a certain number of designs and then you reload when you want a different design.

You can get this unit from a sewing machine dealer, but they are less expensive on-line.

Always check with the vendor before purchasing to be sure the unit will work with your brand/model and machine embroidery format.

Welcome to Fix Ya!
Are you trying to transfer a built-in pattern from your machine to a USB flash drive? I'm not sure if built-in designs can be transferred in their original form. You might try editing the design a bit, save it to a memory space, then save it to the memory stick. If you have a manual, it should describe how to move designs from your embroidery machine to your computer, and vice versa.
If you are other readers have time to rate my answer, you'll help me become a better expert. If you can give me more specific information about what happens when you try to upload a design from your machine, and whether you have a manual feel free to leave a comment and I'll check back with you.   Cheers, Ginny

The solution is to take it to an authorized Brother dealer. It sounds like either something wrong with your embroidery hoop sensors, or more likely something is wrong with the brain of your sewing machine. Hopefully after all this time you've done just that. I'd hate to think of a ULT just sitting around collecting dust.

This is not normal operating behavior for a ULT, take it your a Brother authorized repair center so they can inspect the sensors and the program.

Google "BriTon Leap" for solutions for using your iMac. They have programs called Embrilliance, which works with iMac

here's how I do it.
1. Get the design into jef or sew format (the only kinds janome reads). You probably already knew this, but some newbies try to use pes or art files.
2. Save it onto your computer (and remember the name of the file). I have a folder in my computer labelled "embroidery files" and then have subfolders dividing up those designs - such as animals, flowers, fonts.
3. Hook your sewing machine up to the computer via the USB cable.
4. Pull up your Janome "Easy Transfer" program (it came as a CD with your machine - this is NOT the customizing software).
5. Use that program to find your embroidery file. It's not going to show sew and jef in the same file - you'll have to switch back and forth.
6. On your sewing machine, click on the bottom button (under the screen) that shows the computer to the sewing machine (the third one).
7. Now click on the computer software "write to machine" or whatever it's called (it will be on the top tool bar).
8. Your file will be written to the sewing machine's memory and organized by the embroidery hoop size (A, B, C).
9. It will stay in the sewing machine memory until you use the cable hookup to delete it (reverse of the writing).
10. The 10001 software ate lots of the resident memory in the sewing machine - you can't store as many designs in it as the 10000 would allow. That's perfectly ok, as it only takes a few moments to move designs in and out of the machine.

To be perfectly honest, I vastly prefer doing the USB cable transfer to using the memory card jammed into the card reader deal. It's easy and quick.
