Dst is the most common embroidery file format. It works for virtually any embroidery design machine. If you only have an embroidery machine but no programs for editing, you must use the proper machine file along with a run sheet that has the color detail for every color stop.
PNG and JPG images are the most commonly used image files for converting and digitizing to embroidery. There are also several programs that you could use to change an image to an embroidery file. Few of them are only free on a trial basis, but INK/STITCH is free. The most crucial part of changing the image is digitizing it so that your embroidery machine could read it. Then, only save it under the right file name.

For apparel decorators, there are two kinds of file types: outline (or parent) files and expanded (or machine) files. Outline files are specific to a software, and expanded files are more generic and can be read by embroidery machines.
Machine files contain no real editing information. In fact, most digitizers will refuse to even try to edit them. The information is jumbled and, even attempting to edit shapes, underlay or trims can prove difficult. Pull compensation adjustment will be gone. Underlay will no longer be part of the original segment. In fact, segments will be chopped into many more parts than before.
Software files like .emb and .pxf cannot be opened by an embroidery machine directly. They should be opened by the software that created them. Along with the ability to easily edit the file, these programs also can save the files to the proper extension for your machine.
Embroidery file formats are how an embroidery design is saved to be stitched out on a specific embroidery machine brand. Certain embroidery machine brands (such as Brother or Bernina) require different embroidery design file formats (such as PES. or ART.). Simply put:
Some of the first expanded formats I used were .dst/Tajima and .exp/Melco formats. These are still in existence today, and almost every embroidery machine, whether in the commercial or home markets, will read one of these two formats. We still supply both these formats when we convert our designs for download (we have close to 30,000 embroidery designs available on our site, click here to browse our designs).
The reason why is that they are what I like the call the written in stone formats. While in the conversion process, they rarely, if ever, get corrupted from the original. Like the originals, they are simply x and y movements and commands. When I convert from my Native file format to a Home format, I notice that there may be a corrupted area. A patterned motif fill looks perfect on-screen but then somehow changes when it embroiders on the actual machine! There are many variables when looking for specific errors, so I always suggest going to the expanded .dst or .exp file.
Sixteen years ago, when I began my crossover as an educator in the commercial industry to the home industry, I must admit I was just a little overwhelmed. After learning a dozen programs commercially, the home market had a couple dozen more to digest. Most confusing was all the different file formats.
For this reason, if you ever switch machine brands, we provide you with all the main embroidery file formats at once when you download any of our Embroidery Legacy embroidery designs.
Native file formats are the formats created within whatever embroidery/digitizing software you own. Many of these formats (depending on the program) cannot be read in any embroidery machine; they are specific to and created within the software program. After creating a design in your embroidery software program as a native file format, you often must then export it to a machine file format to be read/used on your embroidery machine.
People will often import a .pes file into their software and then save it as the software native format, which is not a true native file. It has been converted, and some of the original data may have been lost in translation.
Our embroidery software works much in the same way. We have our native file formats created within the software using the original node and properties you chose. If you want to make changes or resize a design, it will always be faster and give better results using the native format over an expanded machine format.
The native file format developed by Wilcom is called .emb, and is now available within Hatch embroidery software for home embroiders. It is by far the most advanced native file format available. The Wilcom platform is both intuitive and intelligent. It puts the user on autopilot and helps choose the right properties for creating production-friendly designs at the click of a button. Resizing designs, changing fabric types, and generating object-based lettering is something the home industry has never truly seen until now.
Yes, you can certainly edit/adjust finished embroidery files within almost any format. One thing to remember though, is that if you want to edit or resize a file, you will always have the best result when using the format native to the software you use.
What an interesting article! I am wondering if it will ever be possible to do a design in Photoshop or other design software and convert it to an embroidery file? I do most of my drawing and designing on my iPad in Procreate. It seems to be my best medium if you will. Anyway I certainly learned a lot and you explained everything so well!
I am seeing some designs with .pes and v6.pes. What is the difference? I know that Brother uses .pes or .pec, but which machines require the .pec? I am not seeing pec as an option when I unzip designs.
I am having a problem with some
.cnd files that I have downloaded from Dakota Collectables and I use
Hatch v2.0. A lot of the designs have
A run stitch that stitches across the
Design. Not sure if downloading a .dst file from site would eliminate the problem or is it something that must be done in hatch. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
I am just beginning to use embroidery in my quilting. I have an older Singer Legacy that was given to me. However, it only reads XXX files. Is there another fomat that it will read. I have lots of multi format patterns, but none of them have XXX files. Is that format compatible with art, dst, exp, hus, jef, pes, vip, or vp3 at all. Or is this a machine that will be a shelf ornament?
Hi Kathy, at embroidery legacy we do include the xxx. files. Also, you can purchase base level of Hatch (Organizer $149) and it will allow you to export to xxx for your files you have in other formats. -products/
Two questions:
I would like to buy this for my daughter who has a Brother NS2750D and is kinda new to embroidery, but wanting to take her designs and incorporate them into her creations. Is this a good product for beginners?
.jan - When an embroidery design is in the process of being constructed, Digitizer 10000 keeps track of each piece of the embroidery. The embroidery pieces are called objects. Each object is actually a description of the piece of embroidery. It has properties information such as size, shape, color, sequence within the design, stitch type and values, and rules for stitching.
If you make a change to an object, such as its color or shape, the properties description is changed. It is easier to modify an embroidery design which is a series of objects than it is to modify an embroidery design which is stitch-based.
The .jan file is the file that contains the embroidery's object properties. There is a "slot" for each object, so if there are 15 objects in an embroidery design, there will be 15 "slots" in the .jan file. It is the file format that is used while the embroidery is in its interim state. When you save an embroidery while it is incomplete, you should save it as a .jan file, so you can easily modify it later.
