I have a Janome sewing machine that will do embroidery and I have purchased a large amount of Jef designs. Does anyone know how I can open these to view to see more detail. The display panel on the machine does not show any detail.

Thank you again - I have just found Embird and downloaded a demo copy. It does just what I want it to do. Unfortunately it only lasts 30 days and is then $99 to purchase which is a bit expensive. Thanks for the very quick replies - brilliant

Yes the embroidery hobby can become expensive. You have a very nice machine so may be worth it to add something for software so that you can use it to the fullest. I will see if I can find out more info for other prorgrams for you.

You are quite right - after the expense of the machine I suppose $99 is nothing and I am sure is worth it. It just seems at the moment there is more and more outlay with threads, stabilizers etc to get going. I am sure that when funds recover a bit after the Christmas blitz I will go ahead. This is my first venture into this area and the first time I have joined a forum. Your replies are very welcome and I am sure I will visit here many times in the future for help- and advice. Thanks Di

Dianne,,, I usually do my downloads from the Embird.com site, but then pay for the registration through the Secrets of site.... for some reason I often have trouble with the downloads from the secrets of site, but their registration is a little cheaper, and you don't have to pay for the registration from the same site you download from.... another Embird Fan here..., wouldn't be without it!! just my 2 cents... MO life is too short, not to explore

Thank you for that advice. I am also impressed with Embird and I am sure that I am going to need it so it looks as though I shall pay for the registration and be able to continue to use it. I am a complete beginner as far as machine embroidery is concerned and all the advice and tips I am finding here are invaluable. I think this will be a regular site to visit whenever in trouble - and I am sure there will be plenty of times I Am in trouble. Thank you.
