Received a Designer 1

[jefe_yessica]

My grandma gave me her "old" Designer 1. I am so excited. I have played around with it a bit. I have a question though. I tried to put some designs on floppy drives from designsbysick. I uploaded the HUS files, and they show up on the floppy drive (when I look at it on the computer). However, when I put the floppy in the sewing machine, it says "file not found". Did I do something wrong when I copied, and pasted them from my computer to the floppy drive?? I would really appreciate any help. I am making an art bag for my daughter, and really want to embroider this design that I found on designsbysick.
Thanks, and I'm exited about this forum

Does your Designer 1 require SHV format? You may need to find a conversion program.

[jefe_yessica]

I don't know what it requires. How can I find out?

[jefe_yessica]

Okay, I found an old floppy from my grandma that has designs that do work on the sewing machine. It has SHV files on it. My grandma has 3D and 4D programs. When I go to pick a design, which format do I choose. And then, how do I turn it into SHV?

[la_cole]

When saving the design, choose "Save As" SHV.

La cole,

When I go to a sick design, the only options are "art" "dst" "exp" "hus" "jef" "pcs" "pes" "sew" "vip" and "xxx". Which one of those do I download?

You'll love playing with your D1. I've had one for 7 years and I love it. You asked which format to download. I have the 4D software and I have no problems when I download the .hus files. Isn't this forum wonderful where you can ask all kinds of questions--and get answers!

Hey Hon, have you tried to call the help desk from your machine book? My 4D converts for my Pfaff but not for my Kenmore I had to order a separate converter for this and am still waiting for it. Best of luck and CONGRATS on your new baby!!
