About machine compatibility

How do I know which file format my machine needs?

Each brand has a native format: PES for Brother, JEF for Janome, VP3 for Husqvarna Viking and current Pfaff, EXP for Bernina (also Melco commercial), DST for Tajima commercial, HUS for legacy Husqvarna, XXX or EMD for Singer. Check your model's manual to confirm.

Can a single design work on multiple machines?

Yes — convert the same source image to multiple embroidery formats. StitchPilot.ai lets you re-export the design in PES, DST, JEF, VP3, EXP, HUS, XXX, or EMD as needed.

Is StitchPilot.ai endorsed by any machine brand?

No. StitchPilot.ai is an independent browser-based tool. All brand names and models referenced are trademarks of their respective owners.
