Do you have some old embroidery designs (either on a CD, DVD, USB, or floppy disk - each defined as a "Media") and need them in another format for a new embroidery machine?  Have you inherited some designs on CD or floppy disk?  "Got Floppies", but no floppy drive on your computer to read them with?  Would you like to use the designs, but have no way to access them on your new machine?  Have you bought a CD of designs on Ebay but it is in the wrong format for your new machine?  You are not alone, and I can help.  I have already done this type of conversion for many customers who had nice designs in a format that their machines could not read.  Within a few days, they had a CD, DVD, or floppy of designs in the right format for their machines at a reasonable cost.  You can too. 

This is the way this works:  You select the media (one CD, DVD, USB, or floppy - no embroidery cards on this auction) that you want converted (acceptable formats to be converted from are ART, ARTv5, ASD, CND, CSD, DST, EMB, EMD, EXP, GNC, HUS, JEF, JEF+, OEF, PCD, PCQ, PCS, PEC, PEL, PEM, PES, PHB, PHC, SEW, SHV, VIP, VP3, AND XXX.)  You do a "Buy It Now" on this auction for the number of embroidery design media that you want to have converted (up to 100 media - more by special arrangement).  I send you my mailing address, and you package the media carefully (use cardboard to protect them - no booklets or excess plastic, please) and send them to me.  I will convert the designs, write them to a CD or DVD (Floppies and USBs are additional cost), and mail them back to you.  You message me with any special requests (format to be converted to, put on separate CDs, name on personalized CD label, etc.).  Please note:  I can only convert to SHV format 36 designs at a time.  Converting hundreds or thousands of designs to SHV format is impossible for me.  Please contact me when converting to SHV designs before buying.  If you want more than one CD, DVD, floppy, or USB, purchase it from the list at an additional price.  If you want the converted designs put on a USB drive, either send me a USB drive or buy one from this auction.  Do not buy an additional CD, Floppy, or an additional USB stick unless you also buy a conversion service.  Anyone who buys a CD, Floppy, or a USB without buying a conversion service will have their transaction cancelled.  If you want to buy just a USB stick, buy it from my other USB Stick auction.  I make sure the designs can be read, verify the number of designs, and confirm that they can be converted to the requested format and will fit on the requested number of disks or USBs.  If not, I return them to you and refund all but the postage cost.  If the designs are okay, I read them using my embroidery software, convert them to the requested format, and write them to a CD/DVD/USB/Floppy with a personalized color label (no personalized label on the Floppy or USB).  The original disks and designs are not affected by this process.  The old disk and the new media are mailed to your address in a cardboard box or bubble-lined mailing envelope within two days (usually one day).  I pay shipping back to you.  I let you know they are on the way and provide tracking information.  Within a few days, you have your old media back and a new media of the converted designs.  You can then use the newly formatted designs with your embroidery machine.

The next question I get is "Is this legal?"  All I am doing is changing the format of the designs you bought.  You can do the same legally at home using Wilcom TrueSizer (one design at a time) or several at a time using Embird ($164) or Buzz Xplore ($149.99).  What you do with the two disks after I return them to you is up to you.

Can you trust me with your disk of designs?  If you could check with the many customers that I have done this for already, they would say "Yes, no problem!".  Also check my feedback, and you will see that I don't rip off customers.  Besides, you are protected by Ebay Buyer's Protection on this auction.

Check through your old CDs and floppies and find the ones that have designs that you want to embroider.  Make sure that they are ones that I can read and write (see the input and output formats in the above description).  Message me if you are not sure.  Buy the necessary number of media conversions on this auction.  I will send my mailing address, and you will have your old disks/floppies and a new CD back in a few days.  Many satisfied customers so far.  You can be one of the next.

Return Policy - Since I test each media before I ship it, I am rarely asked to allow the return of design media.  However, a recent problem with a buyer over a DVD requires me to spell out my Return Policy in detail.  Ebay allows sellers to have a Return Policy separate from the standard Ebay policy.  Mine is as follows: You return the nonworking media to me at your expense (it currently costs me about $3 for postage to mail the media to you). I check the media on my computer when I receive it. If there is a problem with the media, I will send you a new media, pay for your First Class postage, and send you a heart-felt apology. If the media is good, I let you know and ask you what you want done with your working media. If you want it back, you will have to pay for postage. This way the buyer gets the designs they paid for and is not out any additional money.  I don't give refunds - just replacement designs.  When I first started selling on Ebay, I took returns through the Ebay Return System. However, I found that people were buying the disks, copying them to their hard drives, claiming that they were "bad", and returning the "good" disks to me at my cost. I quickly saw that I was being taken advantage of and changed my Return Policy to the one described above. If you buy the designs, I will make sure that you get a working media with working designs.  By bidding on this auction or clicking on "Buy It Now", you confirm that you understand this policy and agree to it.  If you do not agree to this policy, PLEASE DO NOT BUY.

Please note:  For some reason, several customers have bought this service and never sent any designs to be converted.  I have sent multiple messages and e-mails, but have received no response.  Ebay gives me 15 days to send your converted designs to you.  If you buy this service and never send any designs and do not answer multiple messages, after 14 days I will mark this item as "shipped" and worry about my other customers.  Please send the designs for conversion before the two-week limit.
