What is a PEC file?
PEC is the stitch part inside every PES file: the stitches, the Brother thread colors and the preview icons. Some older Brother and Baby Lock machines and many design programs read PEC files on their own.
What is a JEF file?
JEF is the format of Janome machines, also used by Elna and some Kenmore models. It stores every stitch, the thread colors from the Janome chart and the hoop the design was made for.
Is the conversion exact?
Every stitch keeps its position. After converting, we read the new file back and compare it with yours, stitch by stitch; a file that doesn’t match is never offered. JEF files use the Janome thread chart, so each color becomes the nearest Janome thread.
How to load the JEF file onto your machine
Copy the file to a USB stick and plug it into your machine, or send it with your machine maker’s app or software. Hoop your fabric with a stabilizer, choose the design on the screen and start sewing.
