Picked up my ES7 package a couple of days ago. It was only recently released in Australia. This is my first ever experience in using digital software. This video was a wonderful personal tutor. I paused it many times and replicated the process on my software. The 9 minutes of video took me about an hour, because sometimes I missed the button/couldn't see quite where to go. But I think it was an hour well spent. If I had dual screens it would have made it easier. Thank you, Bernina, for producing these self-help videos.
Hi Leslie Yes, sure! There's an update from all older DesignerPlus versions available and also an Upgrade from older EditorPlus versions. You will find them in the Embroidery Software section on berninausa-dot-com. Kind regards from Steckborn
You are right, the BERNINA embroidery software does not support Janome's .jef format. I'm very sorry about this! Maybe Wilcom's free conversion software "Truesizer" is a solution? (Google for wilcom truesizer download.) Kind regards from Steckborn
I just need a very basic software program. Can the free Artlink software let me "add" a new thread color change to an existing design? (I hope this makes sense.)
Dear Kate, yes, customization of thread colors is possible with ArtLink, see www.bernina.com/he-IL/Software-IL/Embroidery-Software/BERNINA-Embroidery-Software-8/ArtLink-Seven for more information.
I should have asked, also, will it open and save .jef format? Will I loose anything if I have to convert between art and jef? Does is still have the built in quilting program? I really want this program, was going to buy it today but was told it won't work with jef format. Help, I have a Janome and can't afford another machine right now.
Hi Carol, Most European BERNINA organizations will introduce the Embroidery Software 7 In the first quarter of 2014. Can you let us know what country you live in? We will then try to find out a more precise launch date. Kind regards from Steckborn
Good Morning. It is not even 10 am and I am stressed beyond belief. I have a beautiful Bernina 830. It can be a bit much in the beginning. Did anyone feel overwhelmed when they were on their own for the first time? I had great instructions but when I got home, I freeze! I am a very experienced "sewer" but embroidering in my 60's is a little scary. ANy suggestions?
You can do it! Play with the little designs,. Open some simple files and look how they are laid out with the color film on the right. There are some nice tutorials offered by a few folks and they are helpful to watch. Don't be stressed. Brush that off and get to looking around, trying a few little things. You can't hurt anything if you give a file a new name. Just delete it if you think you don't like the result!
+Sunne Shaw Hi Sunne, we're glad to hear that you like the song. The track is called "Fine Times" and has been written and performed by Terry Devine-King and Adam Drake. Kind regards from Steckborn

bonjour, je viens de faire l'acquisition de la chicago 7 avec le logiciel de cutwork. J'ai quand même un gros problème, les logiciels sont pour 1 en français et l'autre en anglais.... de même que l'aide et tous les tutos que je trouve. Du coup, je ne comprends pas vraiment comment dessiner et importer de la broderie, comment utiliser à 100% toutes les possibilités et bien évidemment toutes les subtilités m'échappent! Je suis énormément déçue et frustrée de ne pas me servir correctement de ce petit bijou. S'il était possible d'avoir de l'aide j'en serais plus que ravie! Cordialement
Hi Phil, thanks for your comment. We use text inserts (supers) instead of voice-over on most of our videos because they make it possible to stop the video and still read the message. Plus, many sewists watch video tutorials on their smart phones with the sound turned off. Last but not least, text inserts are a huge help for the hearing impaired. That being said, there is also a series of videos where you have BERNINA expertes talking you through it. Here's a link to the playlists: ruclips.net/p/PLfT1DJU1aEloiXEB1KEZPjh22yuJG0IYb (BERNINA embroidery software 8), ruclips.net/p/PLfT1DJU1aElqBUF4PO3q796v9W3xdHxZp (BERNINA embroidery software 7). Happy stitching!

Sure. The BERNINA embroidery software 7 can read and write almost every current embroidery design format.
I just need a very basic software program. Can the free Artlink software let me "add" a new thread color change to an existing design? (I hope this makes sense.)

Thanks for the video.

It would have been a lot better if there would have been vocals to talk us through it.
