File formats

VP3 file, explained

A .vp3 file stores the exact RGB color and name of every thread, so the machine shows the design as designed, with stitches grouped per color block and explicit trims between areas. Some older Husqvarna Viking models use HUS or VIP instead. Make one with image to VP3 or open one in the VP3 file viewer.
