Hardware USB Transfer Guide: How to Load .exp onto Your Machine

Crucial drive formatting and folder placement steps for Bernina & Melco machines.

1Format Drive as FAT32

Embroidery machines cannot recognize modern exFAT or NTFS filesystems. Use a standard USB 2.0 drive (8GB–16GB recommended) and format it as FAT32 with Master Boot Record (MBR).

Tip: Drives larger than 32GB often fail to mount on older Brother and Janome models.
2Folder Directory Structure

Bernina machines require the file placed in the root directory along with the companion .INF color palette file.

Target: Root directory on FAT32 USB drive
3Safe Eject & Machine Insert

Always safely unmount or eject the USB stick from your operating system before unplugging. Premature disconnection corrupts embroidery jump tables.

Turn machine on and insert USB only when prompted on the LCD display.
