Hi Deborah: You should be able to use the PES files on your Bernina.
It's the embroidery software that Bernina started with and every
Bernina I've seen can use the PES. I prefer the ART format, but always
use the PES when ART isn't available. Happy stitching, Parker.

Nay, not so!

My Bernina Artista 200 will not read PES files. If I open a folder
with PES files in it, the screen shows me ... Nothing!

Parker, you may be thinking of the Bernina Software. If you open it in your software and then send it to the
machine, the conversion has already been done for you...when you open it.
The software isn't actually sending a PES design.

Hi Margaret. For your 200 to read embroidery files, they have to be
in art format. Pes files will open in the software & then "saved as"
an art format. I'm not sure if any other software besides Artista
will convert to art or not. I haven't found any. Hope this helps

Hi Bernina users: Have you tried using Art Link to send your PES
files to your machine. I have used PES many times on the 730E, the
640E, the 630E, the 440e and the 430E. Parker

I can see there is some confusion here. Artlink only reads ART format.
It is a free software that let's you send ART designs from your computer
to your machine without needing a card or usb stick.

Bernina started with PES format, only because the first Bernina Deco
machines were made by Brother, so used the same format. Ever since
the Artistas began with a bigger hoop and software, the machine has
used ART format. Those with editor or designer software packages
can read and convert most formats easily. It's the software that does
it, not the machine.

I hope this clears up some conflicting answers. Kathy

Hi, I'm not sure but I don't think Art Link comes with the machines anymore. Trish in AZ

Still not working for me. PES files will not open in my software - all I have is the Bernina ARTLink that came with the machine. ARTLink is not an editing software - I can view the designs, and it will tell me what version of ART has been used, how many stitches, how many color changes, size of design. I can "Save As" a different version of ART (up to ART 4).

I have tried changing the file extension on a PES file to .art - but ArtLink would not read that either.

I really appreciate everybody's trying to help me! Thank you all so much! But it's still not working.

Margaret in Maryland: You can not just change a file extension.
The file has to be converted from one to another - Have you tried.
HUS or JEF - then convert them - I know that HUS converts better to
XXX format than PES does.

While PES may be used by more Embroiders, it takes up more room and
I've found that when converting to the format I need - I use HUS or
JEF. Or can you get it PEC - that is also a brother format - It may
convert for you.

Pleeeeeese contact me directly. I could help

Just to clarify....The Bernina 200E CANNOT use the PES format...Ohhh how I wish it could but the Bernina company won't allow it. We have to use their software for this. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go that route.

If I remember right, I use Pulse Ambassador to convert JEF into PES, and then use Wilcom Truesizer to translate PES to ART. Maybe Truesizer would help you convert your PES designs to ART. Margaret

Dear Margaret in Maryland

Don't be blue! I used to have a Bernina Artista 180 and suffered the way
you are. Then, one day, a kind fairy told me of the following procedure.
It takes a while but works for that special design you just have to have!

First of all convert any format you like into EXP format (I swear by

Embird but perhaps there is a freebie software programme out there that will
just convert to EXP) and store it somewhere on your PC.



Next open the Art Link software.



Go to File and open Card Read/Write. Don't worry about having a

card - you don't need one because you are going to be using Art Link

on the PC directly linked to the machine.



My PC then shows "Device selection"; asks you to select the

embroidery system.(180 in our case) You then click in the

appropriate Com Port which is the port on your PC where the cable

which is connected to the Artista goes in.



Then it says (on mine) "the access to the internal design memory

failed" Don't freak - just press OK - don't know why it says that!



Then it says something about the access to something or other has

failed. Ignore that one too and okay it.



Eventually - God willing - you will get to a window headed "Read

from Embroidery system etc etc"



Now open the folder you want, using the open file icon which is the

bottom one of the three in the middle of the screen.(I have designs

saved in a file marked EXPS for conversion) and remember to tick the

box marked "show files".



Patience - we are almost there!



Now select one of the icons in the box on the bottom left hand side

(you will see that suddenly they all have artista icons!)



Now go to the icons on the right hand side (four of them). Select

the one at the top which is a reel of thread on a paint palette (!)



Press that and bingo! The design opens up in your Art link and is

ready to download to the machine and stitch out!



Don't forget to "Save as" with a new name so you can find it again.

You will also see that the colours are stranger than you could

imagine but that's the price you pay.



The embroidery freebie world is now your oyster! You can stitch out

anything that you can convert to EXP.



I hope this is clear to you. I haven't done this for ages as I now have a
Janome MC11000 Good luck!!



Moderator: I do apologise for this lengthy post but I figured it

might help others too.



Phew! I'm off for a cup of tea!!

There is a free conversion program at EmbroideryDesigns.com.

Hi Marge:

What do you use to send your designs to your machine from the
internet? And, what came with your 200E. We don't sell them anymore
as the 730E replaced it. I thought ArtLink could open PES files, but
it can't. Editor Lite came with my 640E and it will open anything.
