For any of the cuties that have the large hoops for Janome, Husqvarna, etc I have found a site with some very nice large designs, Mostly symetrical but great for all sorts of things, you will need to convert as they are only in ART and DST but worth a look.

Thank you ever so much for this link.
I have found a lot of beauties,some 4x4 and 5x7.
They are going to be wonderful for my table cloths.
And there are no jumps and all have lovely understitching, also stiches under the satin stitching which makes it reall stand up well.
Whoever digi these have done a marvelous job.
Happy Stitching!

WELL I NEVER! Thank you so very much for this information, I've downloaded and installed, now to learn to use it.
I haven't been able to get it to convert designs from other formats to ART, but I'll play with it some more and see what happens. If it works this will be a major breakthrough in creating designs for Bernina users, which, up til now I haven't been able to do without spending a small fortune on software. Thank you SO MUCH.
hugs n roses, Meganne

There is option to write to machine or usb stick but does not seem to be a way to create an art file. However people who need this format could maybe use Bernina Art link to send other formats to their machine.

Thank you, Ruth. I have been downloading her designs for many years, even before buying my Topaz 30. I have stitched some of her designs and have been very pleased with the result. I have used the pes format to change the designs to sew and to vp3.
Hugs, Lidia

If you check through the multiposts on freebies, you'll see that this has been brought up quite a few times just lately. And, PES is also a format included.

And what may I ask were you doing looking for large designs? hehehehe.
What kind of machine do you have Ruth?
OK, now that I've gone and had a look I first must remind you that freebies belong under the freebie tab, though I do get that this is more than just freebies, it is a service for those of us who can't find designs suitable for our large/mega hoops.

So, I had a look and I didn't find many designs I would (personally) want to download, except for that gorgeous cat face and the beautiful stencil type roses, oh and the owls of course.
Which ones did you like best, if any?
Hugs n roses, Meg
PS, it is difficult being torn on two directions.

Meg I have a Topaz 30 (Husqvarna) and my largest hoop is 360mm x 200mm. I didnt post that they were freebies because that part was a bonus it was the size I liked. They could look great on anything. I downloaded the japanese tree ones

meganne by meganne 19 Aug 2012

Yes I like the tree ones too. Was just checking some I downloaded and a couple of them only came in ART, so disappointing as I can never get Embird to convert ART format. OH well, it's not as if I need them, LOL!!!!

I got one of those "Magic Box" converters to convert to ART. If you have Bernina software, it should convert other formats to ART.
