DST, PES and JEF are different embroidery formats. The right choice depends on what your machine can read.

Common pairings are shown here, but model and version support vary. Send the exact machine model when you enquire. Converting an extension does not, by itself, adapt a design for a different fabric or placement.

Save this for your next file request.
