Bernina Deco 340
scraffy Member since 10/30/07 Posts: 45	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/3/08 11:28 PM Can anyone tell me which embroidery format that the Bernina Deco 340 uses? I presently have all my designs in pes, and I am wondering if they can be used on a Deco. Thanks, Scraffy

It is much quieter than my Ellageo! Do you know if you can use a PEBasic design card in it or does it have to use another brand? I had to buy a Bernina jump drive as I was told that regular jump drives would cause it to "freeze up", but I don't understand why they would. Scraffy

PES cards will not work. That is why you have to have conversion software. I highly recommend embird or Bernina's Editor Lite.
