"Finally, we have real Mac software running in our native operating system that looks and feels like a real Mac product!Whoo-hee!!!" Lindee Goodal, Mac Enthusiast If you've been downloading or buying embroidery designs, you're ready for Convert It, Mac. It's this simple; You can now view, unzip, colorize, print, thread convert and use those designs with your Mac!

PES, HUS, SHV, VIP, VP3, PCS, PCM, PSCMAC, JEF, SEW, DST, TAP, EXP, EXP+, XXX Owners of Viking Designer 1 machines can write both floppy and USB sticks using a built-in CIM utility similar to your Disk manager program! Baby Lock, Brother and Janome machines which usually do not like Mac-written USB sticks will work with Convert It, Mac! This works because CIM can remove the hidden Mac OS files from the stick which often confuses those machines. This process is completely automatic. You won't even know it is happening. Things just work! Convert It, Mac also displays these files for your convenience: Image and text formats: BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF, TXT Note: We often get asked if we can convert a JPEG or vector image into embroidery. But, there is no such thing as "conversion" from an image or vector file into embroidery. They are unrelated types of files. The concept is called 'Auto Digitizing' but no one has ever made it work very well. (Yet!) So, we are sorry, but Convert It, Mac is not an auto digitizing program. Key Features Include: Browse embroidery designs, images, text files and even files in zips such as those you find on the internet! View as thumbnails or table view with extended information such as file date, thread usage, stitch count and more. Convert designs between different embroidery formats including most home embroidery machine types. Colorize designs in PES and VP3 with thread brands. Possibilities include ARC, Isacord, Hemingworth, RA, Madeira, Sulky and many more.
