Embroidery Machine Formats

Will your designs work on my machine?

While we are unable to give advice on specific machines and software, your machine should accept one of the formats that we offer. We provide our designs in all major machine formats including art, dst, exp, hus, jef, pcs, pes, sew, vip, vp3 and xxx.

You will need to know your machine's maximum stitch field. We offer multiple design sizes as often as possible, but some of our large monograms and ITH projects simply will not work in a 4x4 hoop, for example. Be sure to read listings carefully ...

Which machine formats are available?

Our design sets are offered in eleven major machine formats: art, dst, exp, hus, jef, pcs, pes, sew, vip, vp3 and xxx. Please note that .sew and .pcs formats are not available for 5x7 or larger designs. You will now receive all ELEVEN formats in one zip file. Once unzipped, the formats are neatly separated and labeled in subfolders for your convenience. Alternatively, during the download process you may opt to download only your preferred format.
