Help needed by embroidery experts!
#1
I have a Janome 350E-uses JEF format-Well my BIL just sent me a box full of Amazing Designs by Geat Notions embroidery designs. The only problem---they are on floppy disks and of course my 350E does not take them. They are from 1996 & 1997-they include a Janome format in SEW. My questions for those in the know, how or what can I use/buy to convert them into a JEF format. I have looked at the Little Max box, but can't find anything really telling me what it does or how to use it. I don't want to purchase something that may not work for what I want.
Any information or advice that anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Most of these packages have never been opened and are in brand new condition.
Thanks for any help; this board is just so full of great information, i'm here every day, sometimes much too long.

First locate a computer that has the correct size of floppy disk drive.
Second you can download Embird software from Embird.com. This is a 30 trial version that you can use to convert file formats. PM me if you need more information.
I convert file formats all the time.

There are several free programs you can use to convert designs. Here's a couple of links.

You can purchase an external flooppy disk drive very cheaply on ebay that you can use on your computer through a USB port to read the files. ( less than $10 ) . If you go to http://www.embird.com/ you can download a trial version of embird which will allow you to convert the files into the formatt your embroidery machine runs on. Hope this helps.
