What is a PES file?
PES is the file format that Brother embroidery machines read. It stores every single stitch: where the needle goes in, in which order, and when the thread color changes. A JPG or PNG only stores pixels, so your machine cannot sew it directly.
How the conversion works
We find the main thread colors in your picture and choose fill, satin or running stitch for every shape. Underlay and pull compensation are set for your fabric, and a quality check blocks files that would not sew cleanly.
How to load the PES file onto your machine
Copy the file to a USB stick and plug it into your machine, or send it with the maker’s app or software. Hoop your fabric with a stabilizer, choose the design on the screen and start sewing.
Every format included
The same purchase also gives you PES, JEF, EXP, DST, VP3 and XXX, so the design keeps working if you change machines.

Questions
Which machines does it work with?
Every home embroidery machine that reads PES (Brother, Baby Lock, Bernette), JEF (Janome, Elna), EXP (Bernina), VP3 (Husqvarna Viking, Pfaff), XXX (Singer) or DST (almost all machines and software).
What does it cost?
$4.99 per design, with every machine format included. The stitched preview is free, there is no subscription and no account. Opening and converting stitch files you already have is free too.
Will it look exactly like the preview?
Very close. The preview is drawn from exactly the stitches in your file. Real thread looks a little softer, and the fabric can pull slightly, so use a stabilizer as you normally would.
Which pictures work best?
Clear shapes with few colors: drawings, cartoons, logos, names and pets on a plain background. Busy photos become large designs with many stitches.
How do I get the file onto my machine?
Copy it to a USB stick and plug it into your machine, or send it with your machine maker’s app or a cable. The download page explains each way.
What if it doesn’t stitch out well?
Send us a photo of the stitched design (the whole design, clearly visible) within 14 days and tell us your machine, the format, fabric and stabilizer. If the file is the cause, you get a corrected file, and if that doesn’t help, your money back. Not covered: a result that matches the preview but isn’t to your taste, problems from machine setup or materials, and designs resized or edited on the machine.
Do I need an account?
No. You pay once per design and get a download link that works for 30 days.
One price. No subscription.
