I am new to machine embroidery. I recently purchased a Brother 8500 and pes-basic. I want to download designs from the internet but am having trouble opening them with the pes-basic. Something to do with zip files. Can someone tell me how to unzip them and store them in a pes format? Or is there a good website that can “walk” through it? I would appreciate any help.

After I download a zip file, I locate it using my windows explorer. After I highlight the file name, explorer will ask if I want to unzip the file. I say yes and then go back to my embriodery program and open the unzipped file.
