Artlink. Is it available for download anywhere?

Oct 07, 2008 3 Replies

Hi all.



I have just purchased a ten year old Bernina Artista 180 and i'm trying to find a way to make it 'talk' to my laptop.



I believe when it was new it would have been bundled with free Artlink software that simply provides a link from machine to laptop, doesnt convert, digitise or anything.



I have spoken to Bernina but they no longer support Artlink and it is now obsolete. They told me I need to buy the editor software which is very expensive however I only want to transfer designs so its massive overkill for my needs.



I've looked around for online software that may do the trick and I read that Wilcom Truesizer did a version that wrote to .ART however it was quickly removed and only a lucky few were able to download it. If anyone has a copy of that I would be willing to pay for a copy?



Many thanks for any help

I had problems at first but have now purchased a dedicated embroidery bobbin and the quality of my projects is so much better.

Thanks again
