BERNINA V9 opens a range of embroidery files in addition to its own ART format. Native ART designs are classified in four grades depending on how the file was created.

Note  BERNINA V9 contains hundreds of ready-to-stitch designs, including many attractive ornaments, samples and digitizing backdrops. Design files (ART files) and images (BMP, JPG, and WMF files) can be found in your C:\Users\Public\Public Embroidery\BERNINA 8 Embroidery folder. The most valuable thing you can do when starting out as a new user, is to spend some time exploring these designs and getting to know what’s available. See also Managing Designs.
