stitchlady Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I am searching for free software website for the purpose to change my vector art from .ai, .eps or other preparation in to sewing machine setups such as .jeff, .sew, .dst and many more. I heard about wilcom which is awesome but costly. I want to try this out and to perform customs designs for family and friends. Hey, I am searching for help. And, can you help in operating with illustrator, fireworks and Photoshop or other program? Quote Link to comment
denpopov Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 This equation is quite common. This is probably can be label as advanced software. But you can take benefit from Coral Draw. It is cheaper than Wilcom. Certain businesses houses also propose facility if you do not want to purchase your own software. 1 Quote Link to comment
AlexAbramov Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I don’t know regarding free software version (converting vector to embroidery stitch files) available. I think this alteration is actually hard as it requires too many command and shortcuts keys. Openingand ending stitch, cutting thread and changing color. 1 Quote Link to comment
lindarnold Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wilcom and Pulse have “viewer” form software as a freeware. This can be helpful in viewing and resizing embroidery stitches. If you are facing problem in changing .ai or Coral Draw file into .dst and .pof file then send it to me. I am going to help you. Quote Link to comment
denpopov Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yet you find many free files on the internet but you would be facing with limited learning curve. Based on my 2 years learning experience on using artwork it is slightly difficult if you are using for the first time. I hope this will help you in converting Quote Link to comment
AlexAbramov Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 If you want to convert vector graphic, I can help you in converting. Software often says that, for converting vector graphics you just need to press a button and it will be converted in to embroidery. Quote Link to comment
nessa12 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hey, I know very new software called Power Stitch. This might not be rather good news for users. Since, most of the software runs in windows. Programmed vector conversation software every time has some quality issues. You should know the stitching and its types that are crucial in producing quality embroidery. In $2000 you can get power stitch. 1 Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Haha! I do not know any free embroidery designing software till date being in this industry for so many years. This digitizing software is specially designed to professional users not basically for general public. It is costly for general people. Changing.dst to .eps you can figure out with free Tajima Ambassador Files for the purpose to play with embroidery designs. Quote Link to comment
sherry Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I am searching a way to transfer my .dst file in to window image file. It is awesome since I used in my fabric too. But I am looking to use it in business cards too. Is there any supporting file for it? Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hey, do you want a way to open dst file and then export to computer i.e JPG file? Yup! It can be done but there won’t be such quality in picture as it has been transferred from vector files. Due to its blunt nature, it won’t give awesome outputs when it is used in business cards. .dst file is found in stitches and when it is printed it comes on form of stitches. But, you won’t get in a rigid line. Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I would like to suggest you to reconstruct .dst file in to a vector file. So, fare I don’t know any freeware that can be able to do this task digitally. Quote Link to comment
denpopov Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I am quoting here another way: Just go to internet and download ambassador and try to open .dst file and then zoom to largest resolution “window” and then use “print screen “ to save view to the clipboard file as jpeg. Go to clipboard and open as new in Corel photopiantor Photoshop. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I downloaded this application and this allowed me to view this file. This is very simplified designed logo. Is there any one to help me in recreating vector file? Quote Link to comment
AlexAbramov Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 My boss had t-shirt made up with logo but regrettably now he missed jpg file of it. He only have .dst file. So, is there anyone out there to help me in converting .dst to jpeg? Quote Link to comment
sherry Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I heard about embroidery magic 2. You can get it on $70 for sale. Otherwise, the real cost is around $99. This helps you to convert EPS or JPG in to DST. 1 Quote Link to comment
candace Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hey, I found out freeware embroidery software called stitch era worldwide. But, you have to pay delivery cost. I am also waiting for it. 1 Quote Link to comment

arightler Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I see much of this post is several years old. Am wondering if anyone has found a solution to converting an ai file to a jef? Thank you for any information Quote Link to comment
arightler Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Does anyone know how to convert an ai file to a pef? Quote Link to comment
diver361 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 This software does not exist. There are special programs that allow you to create an embroidery machine design using the image as the basis. There are professional and home. The choice depends on your budget. There are also freebies. Quote Link to comment
