Machine Embroidery Formats

Different machines read different file types — a Brother PES file won't run on a Tajima, and a DST file won't load into a Janome JEF machine without conversion. 1 Dollar Digitizing delivers in the exact format your machine reads, so you can load and run without extra steps.

Our Supported Machine Embroidery Formats are as Follows

  • DST — Tajima (industry standard for commercial machines)
  • PES — Brother and Babylock machines
  • EXP — Melco and Ameco machines

Vector File Formats

Unlike raster images, vector files scale to any size without losing quality. A logo built as a vector is just as clean at 2 inches as it is at 20 feet — which is why print shops, sign makers, and screen printers all ask for it. We deliver in whichever format the downstream vendor needs.
