I need your help my friends!
As I’m working on some new designs, I thought it would be useful to know what are the actual most used embroidery design formats for your machines.
I historically still put almost the same combo of formats into my zip files that are uploaded for sale or as a freebie – HUS, JEF, PES, VIP, VP3, knowing that PES is the most used one.
There used to be PCS and SEW which I don’t employ anymore as I think there aren’t many machines using this format nowadays.
Recently, I have added DST as I believe anyone can import or convert it, although I really hate the color transformation. But all my designs include color charts so it’s not hard to set up the right colors.
When I bought my new Pfaff, I also added VP4. Which now leads me to the question – is this format really needed or all Pfaffies and Huskies can still use VIP and VP3? Because I can.
Is there any other frequently used format that I omit? Because I have to admitt I’m not as active on embroidery forums and groups as I used to be in the past so I might be missing a lot of contemporary information.
I have created two simple polls to learn what are the preferences of the embroiderers. Poll results will help me to improve and simplify the process of providing designs so please help me and click on relevant answers in both polls.
Thank you very much in advance!
