By default EmbroideryStudio saves designs to its native EMB format. This contains all information necessary both for stitching a design and for later modification. The Design Library conversion function allows you to batch-convert to and from all EMB and other supported design file types. It also batch-converts many machine file formats such as DST, EXP, SEW.

To convert designs...

1Select the file(s) to be converted and click the Convert Selected Designs icon. The dialog lists all machine file formats supports by the software.

3Click Browse to locate a destination folder for the converted designs.

4Click Convert to start the conversion. The converted designs will be stored in the nominated folder.

Tip: The Exports docker automatically opens when a design is converted to machine file or saved as an earlier EMB design file. This shows you the export status of the current session. Machine file export is performed as a background task.
