Blog about machine embroidery software and formats.

Other format of a file of designs of machine embroidery is necessary for you?

For this purpose it is possible to use machine embroidery software for creation of machine embroidery designs. They allow, having opened a file in one embroidery format to keep it in the other machine embroidery format that allows using it by the machine of other type or the manufacturer. In practice it happens inconveniently, especially when it is necessary to change a format at once several files. For users who do not want to buy the expensive embroidery software and to penetrate into details of its work, there are more simple decisions. Below there is a list of formats of files and programs, which can open and transform files of machine embroidery from one format to another. It is conditionally possible to divide them into two groups.
1. Programs creating files in the given format.
2. Programs the looking through and transforming already created files of machine embroidery in another format. Such programs refer to converters - their cost (does not exceed 100 USD) and opportunities, can be various.
At the given list there are not only ready files for embroidery machines, but also so-called "working" files. They store in themselves the data on vector forms, directions and types embroidery fills, forms of a strengthening layer and other parameters. These data are used at opening in machine embroidery programs by which they have been created.
The attention it is important: Some "working" files created in one machine embroidery programs can be open in other programs (under condition of concurrence of versions), but thus the part of the data can be lost or deformed. Some files simultaneously are simultaneously "working" and storing the data for embroidery machines. An example: a embroidery format art (BERNINA).
The attention it is important: Canadian company Pulse Microsystem has released the free-of-charge converter and viewer -Tajima DGML by Pulse Ambassador (free for download) which allows to work with working files (and not only with them): to open, convert, change the size, density.
