The most common formats for machines from different manufacturers:. The machine embroidery file contains information on how the machine should move the embroidery hoops and needle, store information about vector forms, the used color palette, and other parameters.
In some software, all this information is recorded in its own format, and then it can be converted into a format for the corresponding machine. An example of a format in which only one file is used to store all the information simultaneously is the ART format. Basic information about the design, recorded in the corresponding embroidery format, can be viewed by downloading the file even in the most simple embroidery software.
And, if you want to open the file in the software of the same manufacturer, but in a different version, it is possible that you will see a file with significant distortion. Sometimes software changes significantly from version to version, even if they are of the same manufacturer. Keep this in mind. So, you have some design for embroidery for example, you have an embroidering machine BROTHER and you need a file in DST format and you, have a file with some other format for embroidery.
Can you use it for your embroidery machine? No, unfortunately, this is impossible. If you have a file in the format you need, you can load it into your embroidery machine and start embroidering. For example, industrial machines often do not have such a monitor. And how can I be in such cases, how to look at the file you have? With the embroidery software on your computer, you can upload the file to the program and see this design as it looks on the screen.
You can open and see the file not only in the format of your embroidery machine but also in other formats intended for other machines. The main thing is that your software has the ability to read it.
Most often, the software only works with a limited number of formats. Then, if you want to embroider this design, you can convert from one format to another. The software for embroidery with a minimum set of functions is called a converter. Typically, such programs are FREE or have a minimum cost. However, if you want to change the size, change the color scheme, divide the design for the hoops you have, set the design in the center of your embroidery hoops, etc. The category of such programs includes:.
These programs usually have several block-modules. The base unit is usually inexpensive up to USD. The category of professional and semiprofessional embroidery software includes programs aimed to create designs of machine embroidery. Of course, you can also edit ready-made designs in them, and convert them from one format to another. In professional software design contains a vector component, in semi-professional — it does not. Actually, this is even more than the converter of formats.
And all because, in addition to the standard features of reading and re-saving the file, the developers have provided users with small additional convenience. As in all programs, there is the menu and toolbar with standard functions on the main page:. Well, vertically there is also a toolbar for manipulating the design selection, scaling, turning, editing stitches, etc. The formats that this software reads are numerous, which causes respect.
And there is also a considerable number of formats for saving. The View menu gives users several options:. The Layout menu allows you to multiply the design by specifying the number of copies and the distance between the designs. Stitches menu allows users to clear all short stitches in the Remove Small window which are shorter than the specified length in the design. This application adjusts the density to a new size independently, by its internal algorithms and you cannot control quality.
