Hardware USB Transfer Guide: How to Load .exp onto Your Machine
Crucial drive formatting and folder placement steps for Bernina & Melco machines.
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).
Bernina machines require the file placed in the root directory along with the companion .INF color palette file.
Always safely unmount or eject the USB stick from your operating system before unplugging. Premature disconnection corrupts embroidery jump tables.
