Transfer JEF Files to USB

[@amyhardee6474]

I have been trying to figure this out today I was so discourage !! you are awesome !! I got it now. I was coping and pasting the entire folder instead of coping all the JEF files !! thank you !!

[@prestonmains]

I have a Janome 500E I am having great difficulty with transferring designs A from my lap top to the USB stick and then to the machine, its driving me potty. I must admit the UBS sticks are old ones, does that make a difference? I really wish that Janome would include all instructions to their machines. I had a memorycraft 12000 and never had a minutes bother witing designs either to the stick or to the machine. Help...........

[@Lani-Grace]

What is the best design program for the Janome 11000 SE thank you so much

[@sandrabrightwell6990]

I HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE A MAC COMPUTER AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING THE CD-ROMS TO MY MACHINE AND OPENING THE FILS THAT I NEED. CAN A MAC BE USED TO DOWNLOAD FILES FOR THE JANOME 11000?

[@hungryphone007]

Wow! You saved me so much. Thank you

[@debbienix4449]

I found these videos very helpful. However I am looking to find a usb drive that I can buy and use for my Babylock and Brother embroidery machines. Do you have any idea where I might acquire one? Thank you

[@MoMaryR]

Very helpful video, thank you. If I only want to transfer one design from my computer to the usb stick, can it go directly into the embf folder without making a new folder?

[@florencemccue4579]

I deleted my Embf folder.or my Janome 1200, can I reinstall it or find it on my trashcan on the machine

[@janeogechi2857]

Thanks Jay. Please where can I get jef file formats for my janome?

[@Blade56762]

Hello Jay, I have tried everything in this tutorial and much to my frustration, the embroidery machine STILL can't see any embroidery designs on the USB stick (I tried both 1GB and 8GB sticks) I formatted the stick on the embroidery machine and placed the designs into the correct place as per your diagram and they appear there when I check on the computer. The designs are the correct JEF format. They are not too large for the machine capability. I have the identical machine to the Janome Memory Craft 200E (the Elna EMB81)Please help - I've been at this for the whole day!

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

Hello! I have just seen this today so I am not sure where it was. Have you figured it out? If not, I will try to walk you through it.

[@richardokeeffe7296]

Im off now to put this into practice as Im having so much problems trying to open up files. Fingers crossed guys.

[@sandrarogers2759]

hi Jeff, I have a new pe770 and have watched you videos several times and made notes to follow. I have partitioned the thumb drive to Fat 32 and the computer states the five design files are on it. I plug the USB into the machine, then turn it on and only a P1 with the pocket design appears. Any suggestions? Oh, I have Windows 7 Pro on my laptop. Many thanks.

[@katepoage8746]

Thank you for this great video. I followed your instructions, but when I plug into sewing machine and I choose usb port, there are no files showing up. They show up on usb on computer? Can you help?

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

Just remember, the JEF files have to go in a certain folder. So when you plug in your USB to a computer, you should double click on the EMB folder to open it, then double click on the folder you were to create in the video, then you should have your files in there. That is the only way they will show up in the Janome

[@robinsemple5831]

Hi jay. I was hoping your tutoring would be the answer to my prayers. But not yet.....I have a MC11000. Never really used the embroidery feature and decided now is a good time. I downloaded small free patterns from embroidery designs.com with plans to purchase larger ones I get the hang of it. Each design is 6Kb to 17Kb. Followed instructions on both KZbin videos copied and pasted, copy and pasted. Made files. After formatting, Copied onto my 2Gb stick. Put into machine-nothing! Shows I have an ORDF file and a file I had renamed RED after my red memory stick. Tried several times. Screen is a blank except rename and trash as well as the large X Please help!

[@glendamconecone835]

I can not get my embroidery designs to go on my stick it keeps pulling up ord what am I doing wrong I rock along for about two months then bam down and out and I don't know how to fix it and have to drive 40 miles to get it fixed I love my 11000 but I seem to get stock every month or so just when I need help also when I need to put stuff on my external hard drive how and what do I need to watch for sometimes I think I am mixing my 350 and 11000 back on the same stick how do I watch for that and can I delete my usb and what do I need to leave on it!!

[@prabuelayabuelo]

I have a singer studio s 10 and it runs with JEF can this be work in the same way.

[@janicepullan5280]

Thank you so much ! I would never have been able to do this without this tutorial!

[@markjudybeaman4957]

Do I need to purchase a Janome usb stick or can i use a regular stick

[@andreatracey9312]

So my usb stick doesn't have a EMB and the other folder... Is that why it won't read the files?

[@beverly7710]

Thank you, I spent a whole morning struggling with this. I made the mistake of putting the files into the EMBR folder without making a subfolder. Much appreciated. I would like to know how to move from screen to screen while doing an embroidery design. An example would be to move to the screen where all the colours are and back again. Another example is to move to the screen where it informs you of which colour is stitching each part of the design.

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

This will vary a lot between models of machines. For instance, the screens on the 550 embroidery only, are very different than skyline S9 , and that is very different from the 15,000. So I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how to help with that.

[@beverly7710]

@@AStitchinTimeBemidji I should have mentioned I am using a Janome 9900

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

I don't have that model in stock, or I'd do a quick video for you. Sorry about that!

[@beverly7710]

@@AStitchinTimeBemidji What a shame Jay, I suppose I am stuck as I cannot find info like I need in the manual, unless anyone here can enlighten me. Thank you for taking time out to reply.

[@dollyh.3976]

Hi Jef. Question...when I copy embroidery numbers to USB another "file?" shows up after each number...i.e., "1JBF, 1jef,...2JBF, 2 jef."...Can you explain what the JBF file is? It only shows up on USB, not in my embroidery file on PC. Thank you. '

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

Dolly H. Certain machines convert the Jef files into JBF to use them so it automatically does it when you insert the stick into the machine. You don't need to worry about them, just transfer the JEF files like normal and the machine will take care of them itself. One thing of note, when inserting a card/USB stick into the machine that has a bunch of designs on it that the machine hasn't "seen" yet, give it a couple minutes to look at all the designs and convert them before ejecting the card. That will help prevent corrupting the memory stick. The newer machines don't do that as they are designed to read and run on JEF directly.

[@dollyh.3976]

A Stitch in Time thank you.

[@portialanden6353]

I am having a hard time getting designs onto my USB stick. I have a Babylock machine. I am so lost. Not sure if the designs are format for my machine.

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

For the Baby Lock machines, you need to use the PES version. This is the video you need to watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnzPg6Odh5WeatU

[@alandasylvester5521]

I have downloaded from embroidery designs website.

[@erinh888]

Wow, you guys did a REALLY nice job with these videos and are really good teachers! Finally, I understand this process because where I bought my new to me Embroidery Machine place didn't do a very good job. Looking forward to your next video!

[@charlottecoleman834]

Thanks a lot for the video. It has been very helpful. I have Janome 9900. If my CD is several years old does it make a difference? Or does it make a difference the kind of computer program I have?

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

The files will still be the same JEF files, but they may be grouped differently or put in different folders. One thing with Janome, when you put a design on your memory stick that is too large for your machine, they will not show up on your machines menu when you load the designs. This is why some people are confused when they put a bunch on designs (say 40 for instance) on their memory stick and they're all in the right place, but only 31 show up. Those other nine are probably too large and thus the machine hides them. If you run a different version of Windows, it may be slightly different in how you get to the folders to start with, but otherwise, the instructions will all be the same.

[@lunasmum6869]

I have an unzipped design and there are so many files in the unzipped folder. Do I transfer all of those to memory stick? There doesn't seem to be anywhere I can isolate the PES files. So frustrated!

[@marleagray4173]

If you have a Brother machine, it will show the pes files after you unzip it. Click it open then choose the exact file you want to use. It may come in different pattern sizes, so you'll need to choose the size you need. Just highlight it, copy and paste it into your usb.

[@kstudios3047]

Hi what kind of format do you save from illustration for the best Emboridery pattern?

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

That depends on your digitizing software. What I am showing here is NOT how to transfer a picture so that it can be turned into stitches, that's called digitizing and it's a MUCH more complicated process. This video is simply showing you how to transfer the embroidery design onto a memory stick that your embroidery machine can use. In answer to your question though, if your digitizing software will accept vector files such as Adobe Illustrator, SVG, or FCM, then by all means use them! But if your software won't read those types of files, then a high quality jpeg works best.

[@halawafai8165]

Hi Jeff, Sorry I have a stupid question. I was trying to follow your instruction on how to transfer a design from computer to machine using memory stick. After few stupid trial and frustration that I only see on the machine when I put the stock Ord not embf.i tried to delete every thing and start over ..and by mistake while doing that I deleted from my MC 15000 the ord file ( not from the stick) What does that mean?? Can I restore it ??? How!!! Thanks

[@pixieblackwell4392]

Thank you for the info. It is very helpful.

[@fl0l0g]

Thank you makes so much sense !!!!Grr I have wasted soooo much time xxx

[@alandasylvester5521]

I have followed your instructions but I downloaded designs online not from a cd. When I put the USB in my Janome Memory Craft 400E my designs does not appear.

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

Did the files you downloaded come to you zipped? If so, then they must be unzipped before the machine can read them.

[@alandasylvester5521]

Yes

[@janelord3483]

Hi Jef, I spent 8 hours yesterday going over and over how to do this but for some reason my files are showing up in the directory I have made and then on my USB and when I put into my machine not all the files were there. This is driving me crazy. I thought I had to put my JEF files into documents,emb,embf and the des and now i have to make a new file and not put them into the embf at all !

[@JaphethStauffer]

If the design is too large for your machine, it will not show up on the machine, even if it is in the right place. If you are seeing some of the designs and not others and they are all in the same folder, then some designs are either to large or in the wrong format.

[@charlotteclaypoole3922]

I think I could kiss you, you have made more sense then any one I have listen to. I have 11000mc I been ready to toss it and computer. I was doing ok till I got Embrillance. and couldn't get on a flash drive.. I am going to try it.

[@vksyash3919]

DST file convert to EMB ?

[@denisazoey]

how do you turn pictures into Jef files?

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

That is done through digitizing software. Unfortunately, that is not effectively available on machines. If you'd like to have something digitized for you, I could make a recommendation for a quality digitizer.

[@dollyh.3976]

Hi Jef...thank you so much for this very informative video. I am brand new at this and it helped A LOT. I have searched for info on another problem I'm having and can't find anything and have spent all day with it. I hope you can help me. I just bought some embroidery designs by JuJu which were sent to me via email in zipped files. I was able to download and unzip but am having trouble transferring the monogram file to usb. I was able to trnsf one letter but was wondering if it is possible to transfer the whole alphabet design all at once? I have the Janome 9900. Thank you.

[@dollyh.3976]

Ok....I finally asked my son who does web design if he could help. (I didn't think he would be of any help with embroidery software...seriously?!) Well, he was able to help me....the problem was that I was trying to add a sub-folder for my designs, i.e., I set up a folder for "MONOGRAMS" and then set up a sub-folder for each design within the MONOGRAM folder. My embroidery machine couldn't read that sub-folder. So I have to set up a separate folder for each monogram alphabet design in order to copy to the usb. Being new at this, after watching your video and seeing how you were demonstrating how to set up files I didn't realize that was for a computer only and wouldn't work on an embroidery machine. Did I mention that I am brand new at this?? I have to do some more figuring on this....and review your video again for the 4th time.

[@melissapatterson7219]

I still can't get my Embroidery machine to read the files

[@vksyash3919]

Any option

[@rochellelaird4428]

So is it true I can only use a 1-2 GB USB drive?

[@AStitchinTimeBemidji]

On certain machines, that is true. It will depend on how new, and what version machine you have. You don't NEED the larger sizes (4-16 GB) as the embroidery designs are very small, but the ones over 1 GB do read and write faster if your machine will read them at that speed. So while we don't need the space of the larger ones, their speed is a bonus, but only if your embroidery machine is capable of reading them. Does that make sense?
