Now this is really weird but I installed Artlink from Bernina USA on my Windows 7 computer and now the designs show up as icons in Windows Explorer. This doesn't mean I have to use Artlink instead of V6. It just means I don't have to use Portfolio to view my designs. I was having some trouble with SewIconz too.

Once you have access, use the search for Portfolio Icons. There has been extensive discussion. "This is not a v6 issue, but an issue with Windows."

I bought a very easy to use $25 program called Sew Iconz from http://www.sandscomputing.com and now see all my thumbnails.

I just purchased the ver 6 upgrade. I had trouble installing it and finally got help from the Bernina tech. But now I find that my portfolio does not work. I get no thumbnails. Has anyone else had this problem. He suggests I add a program (mediafire), but I hate to have to purchase or add another program. Thanks for any help
