In order to 'see' the .pes files you have to have some software to read it like embird or embrillance. Embird is $164 but has some neat features such as being able to change colors and convert from one type embroidery files to another. You can just transfer them to the USB drive by: Plug in your drive, copying them, eject the usb drive, and then plug it into the machine. The machine will read it without you having a program that can read machine formats.

Noreen you need digitizing software to open a design. You can by the file number send a design to your machine from your computer with PE Design Lite, using a usb cable if it came with your machine- If not, try a standard USB printer cable and have transfer software for your embroidery machine installed and ready to use in win 8.

SOURCE: I have a Brother Super Gallaxie2100 Embroidery machine

You are more then likely downloading too larger images for the hoop chosen,or the machine does not take a large image try with a 100x100 image and see if it works,if the images come out ok then the problem is what I suggested, the problem would not be with your card, as the old card and the new card works on all brother machines,

SOURCE: the designs that i used

I would call Brother and ask them if there is a download conversion link. I know I am not able to use some of my programs on windows 7. Microsoft.com may have some answers for you also.

I have the se 625 embroidery does it take a file from a different embroidery

Do you mean the Brother SE625 embroidery machine? If so, you can import .PES embroidery files using a USB flash drive. See the specifications here: https://www.brother-usa.com/products/se625 . If you have an embroidery design in a different format, you will need to use software to convert the file to the PES format. (This
can include third-party embroidery software, Embird. Since the SE625 doesn't communicate directly with a computer, it did not come with any software. Thus you'll need to purchase the embroidery software separately.)

Note: not all USB drives will work with the SE625. You need a 32GB drive or smaller. See https://download.brother.com/welcome/doch101019/usbmedia_888m00_m02_m03_m04_m20_m30_m31_m36_m37_en_r19-05.pdf for known compatible USB drives.

I hope this helps.

Will bernina art-link software work on my brother se 400 machine?

.pes - A stitch-based file format used by Brother and Babylock embroidery home sewing machines. .pec - A stitch-based file format used by Brother and Babylock embroidery home sewing machines. .hus - The stitch-based file format used by Husqvarna/Viking embroidery home sewing machines.
==========================================
The .exp format is a commercial format while .art is a BERNINA-specific embroidery format. Embroidery designs in .art format keep their fancy fill effects even after rescaling the designs whereas the effects may be lost when editing .exp format files on the machine.
no not think so

Can I use 4D software on a brother machine

You can read and write the embroidery design to the Brother .PES file format with the 4D Embroidery software. Check with your Brother sewing machine manual to determine how to transfer the file between the computer and the sewing machine. This information comes from http://softwaresupport.svpworldwide.com/sd/AddSolution.sd?solID=401 . I have used the 5D embroidery software and it also supports the Brother machine format.

I hope this helps.

I am not sure the program has downloaded on Windows 7. The embroidery designs will not move there--

Sometimes embroidery files download in ZIP format.Check your download folder, and double click on the downloaded file. windows shoukd extract it into a folder of its own. open that folder and the .pes files should be in it. Then open the Brother program to access that folder with the .pes files.

In the new window find the embroidery file you saved under a new name on your computer and choose it. It should show up in the empty square you clicked on. Then Write to your USB. Now you are ready to move your USB to your machine and the embroidery should be there. Hope this helps. Good luck.
