What changes from PES to DST
Stitch positions are copied as they are: same size, same density, same stitching order. Converting doesn't resize or re-digitize the design.
DST files can't store thread colours, only the colour-change stops, so the colours in your PES file are dropped. Write down the colour order before you convert: the machine will still stop at every change.
DST has no trim command, so trims are written as three jump stitches in a row, which most commercial machines cut on. If yours doesn't, set its jump-to-trim count to 3. More on DST trims.
Good to know
- Converting doesn't resize. Scaling a stitch file on the machine changes its density: shrink it and the stitches pile up, enlarge it and gaps open. If you need another size, it should be re-digitized. We can re-digitize it for you, and your first design is free.
- Wilcom EMB, Hatch and other working files can't be converted here. They hold objects, not stitches. Export a DST or PES from the program you made them in.
- Your files aren't kept. The upload is read, converted and deleted in the same request. We don't store or look at your designs.
- Want to see a file before you convert or stitch it? The PES file viewer shows the design with its exact stitch count, size, colours and run time.
