Brother PE Design 6.0 Embroidery Software Without Need For Dongl Full Version
Wan Cabiness
OK This is REALLY old.... I decided to embroidery something for Halloween on my Brother ULT 2001. I went to my Vista PC only to find I couldn't. I haven't used the software in the 3 yeras since I got the new PC. I used a cable and transfered all my embroidery files and programs over. The problem is the dongle won't fit the PC as there is no slot. Is there nothing I can do? I have the box, but it is the same issue, no port. I see online the PE basic would get me a box that connects with USB port. I am willing to buy that, but I can't get the software PE DEsign 4.o to pull up without security device.
Thanks Pattiann. That fixes the problem of plugging in my PE-Design box. Do they sell a dongle adapter or will the program recognize the box and not ask for the security dongle? It has been so long since I have tried, I don't remember.

I open my design folder on the hard drive in PE 6 and then send to a flash drive or go to the software for the reader/writer unit and pull up from the same folder and write selected designs to a card for a reader/writer box.
Well I have a new problem. I drug out an old laptop I had. Got the PE-Design Version 2 to install. Then updated it with my Paleete version 4.0. I attached the PE Box card reader, and the Dongle which came with the PE Design 2.0. I was at a show, and they were out of PE Design, so I bought the upgrade in Palette, which they said was the same.
I have a new Vista computer and Pe Design will not work on it, I have Pe-Design 8 and thought it would work, however Pe Design does not work with Vista running on 64. Hope you find someone who can help you.
I hve PE Design 4.0 with a dongle. I've just bought a new computer running Windows 7, 64 bit It has no serial port to plug the dongle in, so I bought a serial - USB adapter. Even with the dongle atttached via the adapter, I still get the message "No security device found". I contacted Brother and their suggestion was that I try shutting down and restarting with the adapter connected - still doesn't work. Very frustrating to have this expensive software that worked so well for years and not be able to use it. I've gone back to using Embird.
Some general thoughts - based on my personal experience (and personal preference - we all have our preferences for all sorts of reasons)
You do not need to use either of the Janome branded embroidery products with a Janome embroidery machine. In fact the only thing you need is a programme that will make embroidery designs into .JEF stitch / machine files (or .JPX if you particularly want the 15,000 format)
Maybe take a step back and be clear about what you really require - ie. what you will actually use your digitising software to do and how frequently.
Perhaps a factor in your decision may be whether you want to mostly use the programme for digitising to create (and edit) embroidery designs (including quilting designs). If yes then it's worth considering the full digitising programmes such as Hatch 2 and Janome Digitizer V5.5.
I have both programmes and my personal recommendation would be to choose Hatch because both the customer and technical and how to support is so much better. Also, bearing in mind the cost of digitizing programmes, I have more confidence in the future of Hatch than in what may or may not be Janome's future intentions for their branded programme. Hatch, Janome Digitizer and the Bernina branded programme are essentially the same programme (with a few differences in features) and are written by the Wilcom Company. Hatch is Wilcom's own version of the programme.
If you're more into embellishment of craft projects and more occasional use of digitising software, then if you particularly want a Janome branded product, then by all means try the Artistic product.
(My personal view - I'm not a fan because I find it awkward, somewhat clunky and generally an older architecture and inferior product. Like all programmes, in time they are upgraded and rewritten. Personally I prefer the style, logic, capability and architecture of the Wilcom products. It's very personal and I find the user interface of the Wilcom products more intuitive.)
Currently the machines I use are a Janome 15000 and a Janome 11000 (and I also do some digitising for a friend who uses 2 different Brother single needle machines and a Brother multi-needle machine).
You do not need to use either of the Janome branded embroidery products with a Janome embroidery machine. In fact the only thing you need is a programme that will make embroidery designs into .JEF stitch / machine files (or .JPX if you particularly want the 15,000 format)
My personal ranking of using the 3 programmes is
1. Hatch 2 (Wilcom)
2. Janome Digitizer 5.5 (Wilcom)
3. Janome Artistic Digitizer (Janome branded version built on a Creative Drawings programme)
Compared with a couple of others - bearing in mind using them mainly for digitising designs, my very personal ranking is
1. Hatch 2 (Excellent full featured programme)
2. Embrilliance (as a Value option)
3. Janome Digitizer 5.5 ( Excellent programme, Like Hatch 2 with additional features of Cutwork & Stumpwork, but Janome does not share what it's plans are for the future of the Wilcom product)
4. Embird (as a Value option)
5. Janome Artistic Digitiser
Cost can be an issue and again if you want to digitise designs rather than just arrange or auto-digitise and edit here and there, then it's well worth considering Embird (main programme + studio) and also Embrilliance Stitch Artist 3. With Embrilliance, you get both Mac and Windows versions and you can also install the programme on as many different computers/Macs that you own.
If you particularly want to use a Mac, then Embrilliance may be an appropriate choice for you as Embird still has to run on Windows.
Each of the digitising programmes available has some very useful features and tools - so choosing which is the best fit for you for depends on what and how you will use it.
It is well worth taking the time to read all 4 pages of contributions about this topic here for pro / con experiences and views .
Please do not feel that you have to use a Janome branded product just because you have a Janome machine, there may be better options for you, your Mac and your Wallet.

Some companies charge more than this for a program that only does resizing of embroidery designs. With Essentials, sizing with stitch recalculation is included! You can re-size embroidery designs down to 50% and up to 250% of their original size!
One-click conversion to your favorite thread brand.AppliqueEmbrilliance Essentials has applique features that make it unique in the embroidery world. You can use an existing applique design and select position and material colors allowing the removal of hidden top-stitches in overlapping appliques, while leaving the position and material runs unmodified. You can also use the position color to create a cutting file using our patent-pending technology. Brother ScanNCut, Silhouette Cameo, and other cutters can use the files Essentials creates.
Embrilliance is here to fix all that. We have dealers, dedicated support, and wonderful software narrowed down to the features every embroiderer needs. More than that, we made it affordable! If you have the desire to get more out of embroidery than simply using your machine, Embrilliance Essentials is how you do it.
No dongle required. No limits to the number of installs. As you add Embrilliance software products, all you have to do is register the serial number to the program and all the features are added to the platform. One platform, one install, adds everything the Embrilliance Platform has to offer.
It also includes special features to enable Mac users to write USB devices and floppy disks for use with embroidery machines, including Designer 1, and users of the Brother and Baby Lock can even send designs via WiFi directly to their machines with a click.
Embrilliance Essentials lets you convert the placement stitch lines from applique embroidery design stitch files into vector shapes you can cut with both home and commercial cutting machines. With a couple of clicks, applique cut files can be saved as .SVG, .PLT, .FCM (ScanNCut) and .studio (Silhouette).
Switch to circle text and you can type text around any circle, just set the radius to your chosen measurement and decide where the text will sit on the baseline. Circle mode also lets you wrap long lines of lettering into a spiral!
Includes Sensitivity controls to adjust for the discovery of fills and satin stitches, Gap Reduction to help reduce gaps between adjacent areas when you upscale designs, and stitch length filters to avoid overly long, loopy stitches and tiny stitches that are too closely crammed together.
I think the problem with the PED Basic is not our machines or us but Brother. Everyone has problems with PED and I have had to call Brother so many times for help which is almost non-existing. I have a 750D which I love and just hook up my computer to the embroidery machine and load the patterns that way. Hope you can work this out. I just took the easiest way I could!!! I download to my computer and transfer it to the machine. PED usually just sits in the box it came in. I have enough stress in my life without stress when I am doing the one thing I love the most. I also use an external hard drive (in fact two) to back up all my designs.
Some of us have older machines where we cant hook them up to our computer or use USB sticks so we have to use cards - or the built-in designs :) I havent had a problem with PED Basic but it bugs me that Brother doesnt ship the package with up-to-date software so that others wouldnt have problems with it :) xXx
Hi, I do not know how to help. But I am so glad you asked, because my Daughter has a Brother embroidery sewing maching and we need to get software for her to be able to see designs and so forth. I have 5.0 version that came with my Brother machine. But we bought her machine used and they did not include the program or the dongle. We will try to purchase later for her. Reading all this information is very helpful. So thanks so much to everyone.
