Utilizing EXP Formats with Your BERNINA Embroidery Contraption

Antiquated Bernina Logo 1The BERNINA apparatuses, namely the 830, 780, 750, and 580, mandate the EXP format for their designs. Additionally, BERNINA 630 and 640 models interpret the EXP format.

Two distinct EXP formats exist:

1. Melco EXP
2. BERNINA USB EXP

• Melco EXP represents the industrial EXP format devoid of thread hues. It extracts default thread shades from the embroideyr software in use, potentially transmuting your blue into green, red, or yellow.

• BERNINA USB EXP, the non-commercial (domestic appliance) embroidery format, retains thread colors in accordance with the color chart.

Embroideres studio design collections predominantly proffer the Melco .EXP format, while numerous contemporary embroideyr collections encompass the BERNINA USB EXP format.

A BERNINA USB EXP comprises a trio of files for each design:

1. EXP – the design itself
2. INF – the thread shades
3. BMP – the image displayed on the 830 contraption

When employing a embroidery collection featuring the BERNINA USB EXP format, transfer all three files (EXP, INF, and BMP) to your BERNINA Personal Design USB stick.

Should you necessitate the BERNINA USB EXP format and it remains unattainable, initiate the ART format in your BERNINA embroidery software, and subsequently save it as a BERNINA USB EXP file. Upon converting your ART format design into a BERNINA USB EXP format, ensure the BMP and INF files accompany the EXP file when duplicating designs from the hard drive to USB or a CD.

Preserving a embroidery design as Melco EXP will retain exclusively the EXP format—the industrial format that omits thread colors.
