Supported Schiffli file formats

Schiffli designs can be opened in EmbroideryStudio, edited and saved in EMB file format, as well as ESS and ESL, ES Schiffli machine file formats. Designs can also be read and written in many other machine-specific formats.

Note: ESL is used for RCC designs only. ESS is the primary machine file format for Wilcom-developed Schiffli servo control systems. When the ESS file is read directly by a Wilcom Electronic Servo System (WESS), high resolution and stitch accuracy is possible.

Schiffli disks

As the newer Schiffli machines can read floppy disks, there are several Schiffli machine floppy disk formats. These include:

You need to convert the basic machine file into the specific disk format required. For the most part, this can be done directly through EmbroideryStudio, or indirectly by means of the ES Schiffli Disk Converter.

Note: All Schiffli disks are DOS/Windows readable and do not require special hardware.
