I'm loosing my mind!

That's tough....Berina and Jamomie don't mix for some reason. When I purchase designs from OESD which I think is somehow related to Bernia there are all types of formats available except JEF. Good luck I hope your successful.

I did not know Bernina software will convert from Jef to Art. Don't know how. But will have to find out.

Don't worry I lost my mind a long time ago, right after loosing my waist line!!! Hugs and blessings.*******

Bernina offers a program free that will allow you to convert an art file to other formats. I would, theoretically, also allow to convert other formats to .art. HOWEVER, there are specific criteria in the bernina software that a design must be to be saved as an .art file. There must be correct stitch support, outlines and I don't know what else because I have not learned to digitize. Files that are grade A or B can be saved as an .art file. I have not seen any other file formats opened in this software with a Grade C or less. Maybe they exist, but I haven't seen them. I have purchased and opened designs that are in the .art format that are Grade D so it isn't some prejudicial thing. Long answer that says...maybe you can, if the design has all the 'things' Bernina requires AND if it will even be a Grade A or B when you open it in the first place. Hopefully, that helped to understand and did not contributed to more confusion.

I've opened many Grade C files without difficulty...I've never seen any JEF files opened in my Version 5 of the Bernian software. There may be something available through the internet. ????

Thank you all!
I download Wilcon and just convert JEF to PES

Bernina will not convert to Jeff. I have used Wilcom True Sizer( a free program) to convert to exp, hus or pes then to Bernina art. Make sure you have color charts to correct the colors, they get a bit screwy. Good luck

I have the Bernina, Tajima Pulse, and the Wilcom Truesizer and I have not been able to convert anything to ART. Sorry. Maybe someone else knows.

Try to download Pulse Ambassador this is what I use to convert from jef to pes and then you can convert from pes to art on your Bernina Software.

Only program that would do that for you is the Bernina software.

This is what I have but I can't do it
I never used before a jef file

I don't know of any programs, but have you tried using EXP or PES? These formats both work on my Bernina.
