Can I download embroidery editor from janome site instead of downloading from cd

This sounds more like a driver issue than a software problem. The ArtLink 6 software CD that came with the Aurora 430 had drivers for XP and Windows Vista. However, these drivers may have only been for the 32-bit OS. Windows 7 is the first version of the OS to have had a large number of 64-bit installations.

The latest drivers for the Aurora 430 is available here: https://berninaofamerica.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200183069-Aurora-Driver-Windows-Vista-7-and-8- . You will need to install two drivers; follow the directions on the site. Make sure that the USB cable is good and that you aren't using a USB hub.

If you have installed the drivers and the ArtLink 6 software still isn't working, ArtLink 7 is fully compatible with Windows 7 and the Aurora sewing machines. The only download site for this software that I've found is https://www.bernina.com/en-CA/Products-CA/BERNINA-products/Software-Designs/BERNINA-Embroidery-software/Advanced-Embroidery-Software/ArtLink-Seven . ArtLink 8 is also Windows 7 compatible. However, I haven't found any documentation on the supported sewing machines.

The driver issue also applies to the dongle. Try this site: https://www.bernina.com/he-IL/Support-IL/Software-he/Embroidery-Software/Dongle-Driver . However, since you have the Editor Lite v4, this dongle may not be supported under Windows 7. The dongle driver is not updated regularly. For some information about the software limitations, see https://www.bernina.com/he-IL/Support-IL/FAQ-he/Software-he/Can-I-update-my-BERNINA-embroidery-software-Editor .

I hope this helps.

(There is a patch for the v5 software to run properly under Windows 7. There isn't one for the Editor Lite v4 to the best of my knowledge.)

You can go the the Janome web site to find drivers for your computer. When you save designs to the memory card you must save them in a folder (emb, i think}.Put a blank card in the machine while the machine is off anf=d then turn the machine on,,,It will make the folder for you.

Good Luck

Hello Maria
The Premier Embroidery System software is compatible with all sewing machine brands.
Once an embroidery design whether created or downloaded can be saved in various embroidery formats. You can save the design as .jef and use it in your Janome embroidery sewing machine. If the same design is saved in other formats, it can be used in other sewing machine brands.
The Premier Embroidery Software is amazing.

Please let me know if this is helpful.
Happy stitching

.Jef and .Dst will work on a Janome machine. You can buy designs per the hoop sizes for your machine. Buy, download, and transfer received file to a USB drive to transfer deign to machine.
Cheers,

I assume that you have a computer and have the Janome software on some type of media (flash drive for example.) The Viking uses a different format that the Janome. Janome uses either .sew or .jef You can download the free program "My Editor" Open the Janome design in My Editor then ask the program to save it in the format your Viking uses--.hus or .vip uses. (Choose saveas, click on the drop down box and find the format your machine uses.) You can download My Editor from this site

If the designs are already on a formatted* flash drive and in the format of the embroidery machine and the embroidery machine has an USB Port-A receptacle, you just plug it into the machine.

If the flash drive was not formatted for the Janome, then this may help - http://janome.com/fusetalk/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=639

Get a new flash drive and start fresh.

Create a folder on the PC's hard drive and name it Embroidery Downloads and copy or send from the flash drive you now have. Keep the flash drive as a backup.

After you format the new flash drive, you can then copy as needed from the Embroidery Downloads folder. Just do a couple.

You may not need the customizer 1000.

If you go to secretsofembroidery you can download a trial of Embird.

Create a folder on the hard drive of your PC and download a couple free designs from the Internet.

They may be zipped files and you will have to open or extract all.

The opened file is what you will work with. Open it with Embird and "save as" using the format for your embroidery machine.

Find the new design with the janome format and send it to the ATA card.

Insert the card into the embroidery machine.

Hello
You need the Memory Craft Reader Writer before you can copy to a Memory Card, I bought for my Janome 5700 and it works great.

Firstly, format your compact flash card on your embroidery machine. This is presuming you have embroidery files in your jef format your machine reads on your computer. Place your compact flash in the compact flash card reader writer connected to your computer, open the compact flash card in your computer, open the file emb5. Now you can simply copy and paste a design from your computer to your flash card. It works for me. Goodluck.
