Hi Cuties, I have a Viking/rose machine and noticed that some patterns are done in rar format. How can they be changed to pes,hus, or dst? I would appreciate any information. Thank you.

Here are numerous options for opening a rar file. I use 7zip. I right click on the rar file, choose 7zip on the menu, (then there are options) click on extract here, and the designs come up in a folder. Delete the rar, and you choose what you want in the folder. If there is not your format, then you need to convert.

Hi, my Embird Build 5 does not have rar formats, otherwise I'd offer to convert some for you. Sorry

Ok see that Mops "Martine" have given you the answer - hugs Yvonne

The Rose was my first emb. machine!! Loved it. I don't think any of the soft wear I have can chg. it to a format you can use. But others may have some. My 3D doesn't read it.

It isn't an embroidery format but a compressed file, like a zip file, that contains a number of embroidery files and maybe a jpg and/or a file with colour information.
