Files with an "HUS" suffix are graphic embroidery files used in Husqvarna Viking sewing machines. This brand of sewing machine can be loaded with files that enable them to create custom embroidery. If you download an embroidery file from the Internet or receive an embroidery clip art disc but find it is in the JPEG image file format, you must convert the file to the HUS format before using it in your Husqvarna Viking sewing machine.
