What is dst file in embroidery?

Tajima's stitch format and the common language of commercial embroidery, read by nearly every multi-needle machine and embroidery program.

File formats

DST file, explained

A .dst file stores stitches, jumps, trims and color changes but no thread colors, and single stitches are limited to 12.1 mm. Embrizo writes DST with longer moves split automatically and trims encoded the way Tajima-compatible machines expect, plus a color sheet for the thread order. Make one with image to DST or open one in the DST file viewer.
