No account required · Delivered in hours · Revisions included

Why not just auto-convert?

Free online converters and auto-digitizing software don't understand thread. They trace pixels — they don't engineer stitches. The result? Broken needles, messy underlay, bird-nesting, and designs that look nothing like the original. Your machine deserves a file built by someone who knows how thread moves through fabric.

How it works — 4 steps, zero guesswork

Frequently Asked Questions

No. JEF is Janome's native format, while DST is Tajima's. They contain similar stitch data but are structured differently. We deliver in whatever format your machine needs.
