Embroidery.com does NOT offer designs in paper tape or cassette format. These formats are both older methods. You will likely need to upgrade your machine or find a transfer method of your own, since fewer and fewer design companies are offering these dated options. |

Hi, Rachel. Thanks for the question. According to the CamFiveEmb website, the HT1502 can read the following:
EMB, DST, DSB, DSZ Among many more standard design formats
At Embroidery.com, you'll commonly see the DST format available.

I have a Janome MC400E and can not get designs loaded to my machine with the USB drive. I don’t see anything on this model #, someone told me it was because I purchased it off the internet. Can you please help? I love the mac
Hi, Carol. Thanks for the question. To send a file to your USB drive from your computer, you can simply right click on a file on your computer and choose "send to". Then select your USB drive. The should transfer over within a few seconds. You can then eject the USB drive and read the file on your machine. A couple of important things to note: do make sure your designs are no larger than 7.9" x 7.9" as I see that is your machine's maximum sewing area. Also, be sure to use a format your machine can read, such as .JEF. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

I have a Baby Lock Destiny which uses a PES file format. But the 3D nativity Scene pack I bought does not have that format on the disk. which other format is usable on the Baby Lock Destiny? Thanks much!
Hi, Debby. PES format is the format I'd recommend for you. In a pinch, you might be able to use DST or EXP. You might want to double check the disk; however. I just checked the master disk for the 3D Nativity Scene and it does include the PES format.

I have a Embroider Kenmore elite Sewing Machine Model 19010 I would like to upload a jpg image to it. I have the scandisk to save it to. What type of file do I need and how do I convert it. My email is ccomprelli@verizon.net
Hi Cheryl,
Welcome to embroidery!
Your Kenmore Elite will not accept a .jpg image because it needs embroidery data. You will need to be able to obtain or convert to .sew format. While it is possible to create an .sew file from a .jpg, it is really an art of its own to do so. Going from picture data to embroidery data means selecting and placing stitch type and accounting for tension and fabric and thread pull issues. There is a whole profession called embroidery digitizing. People trained in embroidery digitizing can be hired take your jpg image and create an .sew file for you. Alternately, you can learn to do it yourself with a digitizing software, such as Embrilliance StitchArtist. If you are most interested in embroidery and not so much in learning to digitize, then I recommend hiring that out, or finding an embroidery design already created that suits your needs. There are very very many pre-created embroidery designs available in .sew format. We sell thousands here on Embroidery.com, and offer some for free as well, for instance. They can be downloaded and saved to your scandisk with the reader/writer box and used on your embroidery machine.
Hi, I’m trying to connect my brother ps 770 with my usb drive and it’s not loading image. Can you help me?
Hi Mimi
Here is a link to how it should work. Note that the software version on your machine may need updating. It can also be helpful to use the smallest capacity USB drive you can find.http://support.brother.com/g/b/sp/faqend.aspx?c=us...

I have a Husqvarna 650 machine and wanted to know if the VIP files would work on it as according to the sheet here that type of file works for the 950E. So would it work for mine?? I just want to find out what file will work with my machine.
Thank you. Roberta
Hi, Roberta. Thanks for question. Yes, the VIP is the format that is recommended for your machine (the 950E).
Sincerely,

Hi, I have a Pfaff Smart 300e and was wondering which format it requires? Also, can you recommend any compatible softwares for creating custom embroidery designs?
Thanks.
Hi, Mas. I can't find information for sure on which format your machine takes, but my best guess would be VP3. You can also try VIP or PCS. As far as compatible software for creating your own designs goes, I'd recommend Embrilliance Stitch Artist.
I hope this helps.

I have a Viking Jade 35, but I'm unable to find this machine listed... what file type should I be downloading?

Kristen.. I do embroidery logos for shirts so I wouldlike to know if we buy the tajimasoftware is it compatible with dwf and toyota machine?
Hi Alexia,
Thanks for the question. The answer is probably yes. I am not certain, from your question, which Tajima software you mean to purchase. If you are looking at DG15 by Pulse, yes. That software program is compatible with SWF and Toyota machines.
If you are talking about downloading the .DST (Tajima) format of embroidery designs, yes. SWF and Toyota machines both read the DST format, so you should be able to use DST on both machine types.
I hope that helps!
Can you use a .DST format on a Husqvarna Viking sewing sewing machine
Hi Sharon,
Yes, you can use DST on a Husqvarna Viking Brother White 4400 or on a Husqvarna Viking Designer SE Other models need HUS, SHV or VIP format. We offer these formats where available. If you need a design in a particular format which isn't shown, you are welcome to request it. If it's possible in that format for that design, we will make it available.
