Embroidery File Format

Your machine can read embroidery designs that have been created using the BERNINA Embroidery Software and exported as EXP files. When they are exported, a BMP file and an INF file are created alongside the actual embroidery file. The BMP file provides a preview of the embroidery design and the INF file provides the information on the thread colors. If the INF file is missing, the embroidery design cannot be displayed in the correct thread colors and will instead be displayed in default colors. You can set the colors manually in the editing functions.

BERNINA International AG cannot guarantee that embroidery designs that have not been created or converted using the BERNINA Embroidery Software will be correctly read and embroidered.
