Questions
The quickest way to see what it does with your artwork is to try it. With a free account, digitizing and previewing cost nothing and take about a minute.
Are these Bernina embroidery designs really free?
Yes. All 102 designs download as EXP files with a free account, and you can stitch them on things you sell.
What file format do Bernina embroidery machines use?
Bernina machines use EXP. EXP stores stitches and color changes; Bernina machines and Melco's commercial machines read it.
How do I get a design onto my Bernina machine?
Copy the .exp file to a USB stick for a Bernina, or load it into Melco software for a Melco machine.
Will the designs fit my Bernina hoop?
Each design is at most 95 mm on its longest side, so it fits a 4×4 in (100 × 100 mm) hoop. The smallest field among the Bernina models here is 400 × 150 mm.
Can I turn my own logo into a Bernina file?
Yes. Upload a logo, drawing or photo to the digitizer, check the stitch preview and save a EXP file for your Bernina.
