Machine Embroidery File Formats Explained - Machine Embroidery for Beginner’s Series

If you're new to machine embroidery file formats can be very confusing. Why are there so many different kinds? What are they used for? Embroidery file formats are the way in which an embroidery design is saved to be stitched out on a specific brand of embroidery machine. Certain embroidery machine brands (such as Brother, or Bernina) require different embroidery design file formats (such as PES., or ART.). Simply put:
For an embroidery file format to be read or understood by an embroidery machine, it must speak the native language which an embroidery machine brand recognizes. The most common file formats are: art, dst, emb, exp, hus, jef, pes, shv, vip, vp3 and xxx.

Informative and very useful to me ☺️

I learn so much from you John. I had to listen very carefully to every word, and I paused the video and rewound it to listen again to fully grasp this content. Then I practiced editing a design in my software and 'Wallah!' ..Ladies - hang on to those .DST files

So happy to hear the video helped Pat :) Thanks for watching!

I wish I had learned on Wilcome or Hatch software. Too late for me now.

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

It's never too late! Making the switch is less intimidating than you'd think :) Plus you can try hatch free for 30 days just to test the waters!

I have the logo on word file and how can I convert it as PES file >? so I can use the machine to make the logo? Thanks

[@tanjirulislam6264]

If you want to convert in pes file you have to hire a embroidery digitizer.
I know a person who is highly skilled and he doesn't cost highly.
per logo 5$
