I have been downloading designs sometimes to my computer c-drive (if they are zip files), or directly to my usb memory stick, if they are jef., but when I put the usb into my machine (more...)

Hi, i felt it would be criminal of me not to give you the following advice. You should NEVER download designs from the internet directly onto a memory stick and then install those designs directly into your machine WITHOUT FIRST running a scan for viruses on them (M/stick). Your machine is as susceptible to viruses as your computer but imagine having to pack your machine off to have it's Brain replaced..... EXPENSIVE! hugs n roses, M

Thank you, Meganne! I went and did the scan right now. I'll be sure to make that part of my routine. Flower for you!

So glad you got your problem solved. I am really computer dumb, and have so many problems, and have to rely on my husbands help quite often. *2U

My grateful thanks (& flowers) for writing back to me, pafhen & minnieb! I ended up going on the Janome site & asking the question there. Then hubby came home & we got it figured out. I did miss a step (which unfortunately was not in the manual). I needed to insert the USB into the machine, as it first of all creates the appropriate folder(s) into which I'll henceforth be able to download to. (Hurray!!)

well I am not sure, are they showing up on your computer? and its just the usb stick that is not showing them. When you downloaded them did you make sure it had .jef if that is left off then nothing shows up.

On the comp., if I "mouse" over the file, it shows that it is a .jef file. Doesn't list is as, for example "elephant.jef".

pafhen by pafhen 03 Jun 2008

then first I would rename the file to elephant.jef so it would show up as that file. Then I have to open up my software to see the actual pic of the file. Like I use ped basic to view them, for they will not show you the pic without the software. I hope this helps you out

I'm sorry, I'm not very computer literate, as you can see. How do I keep both parts together?

newipswich by newipswich 03 Jun 2008

Oh dear, looks like I separated the part again. :-(
