Is there a way in which I can convert the PES icon into an actual picture so that I can see what the design is like. It would be much easier than transferring the design to my machine to see what it looks like. I usually rename patterns to indicate what they are, but a picture is much quicker. Many thanks Eileen

Wilcom has a free program you can use to view designs and also to convert to other formats. The link is below.

I use a program called embroidery reader. It is a free download at www.softpedia.com My computer guy found it for me.

There are probably many ways but I use SewIconz, which is wonderful. Before I bought SewIconz I used a free programs called Edit Express Lite and Wilcom Trusizer.
Hope this helps. Sarah.

There are several programma - some free, some for a small fee and some as part of a more expensive softare package - that do just that for you. As I use Embird's Iconiser and/or 5D Organiser I can't help you with a link to a free one. Some Cutie will get you a link though.
