Embroidery Data Precautions (About the types of embroidery data that can be used.)

Observe the following precautions when using embroidery data other than that created and saved in this machine.

 

When using embroidery data other than our original patterns, the thread or needle may break when sewing with a stitch density that is too fine or when sewing three or more overlapping stitches. In that case, use one of our original data design systems to edit the embroidery data.

Types of embroidery data that can be used

Only .pes, .phc and .dst embroidery data files can be used with this machine. Using data other than that saved using our data design systems or embroidery machines may cause the embroidery machine to malfunction.

Tajima (.dst) embroidery data

 

  • .dst data is displayed in the pattern list screen by file name (the actual image cannot be displayed). The full file name may not be displayed depending on the number of characters in the file name.
  • Since Tajima (.dst) data does not contain specific thread color information, it is displayed with our default thread color sequence. Check the preview and change the thread colors as desired.
