Prodigy pcq/pcd for the Mac

This 1mb Macintosh file contains .pcd and .pcq stitch files (an embroidery frame is not used) for use with 1475 to 7570 Pfaffs. I obtained these public domain stitches while a member of Prodigy 1991-1993. The index is included as a text file. Authors were credited where possible. Photo below shows 4 embroideries of the hundreds in this collection. Index only 21kb

In Memory of Billie: 8/14/99 Billie Finney OS 9 PCtoMACv3.0, a freeware program.

PCto Mac will translate design (+9mm and maxi) files to and from for the Pfaff sewing machine models 1475, 7550, 7560, and 7570 between the format required by the Macintosh version of the program PC-Designer and that required by the Microsoft Windows version. The program will run on any Mac with a cpu version 68020 or later, using System 7.0 or higher. There are no sound events and no floating point arithmetic to demand elaborate equipment. Warning - PCto MAC does not translate Tajima or Melco commercial format files ( see MacConverter for Tajima translation), nor does it translate files prepared for the Viking 1+ or POEM.
