Machine files

Open or insert PES, DST, JEF and more; digitised stitches are kept as they were.

Updated October 12, 2026

Open a machine file — PES, DST, JEF and more — or insert one into a design. Its stitches are kept as they were digitised: move and recolour them freely, but resizing one by more than 10 % is flagged, because a digitised design’s density doesn’t follow its size.
