Questions

The quickest way to see what it does with your artwork is to try it. With a free account, digitizing and previewing cost nothing and take about a minute.

Are these Janome embroidery designs really free?

Yes. All 102 designs download as JEF files with a free account, and you can stitch them on things you sell.

What file format do Janome embroidery machines use?

Janome machines use JEF. JEF is Janome's own format and stores the hoop and the color order.

How do I get a design onto my Janome machine?

Copy the .jef file to a USB stick, plug it into the Janome or Elna machine and open it from the embroidery screen.

Will the designs fit my Janome hoop?

Each design is at most 95 mm on its longest side, so it fits a 4×4 in (100 × 100 mm) hoop. The smallest field among the Janome models here is 140 × 140 mm.

Can I turn my own logo into a Janome file?

Yes. Upload a logo, drawing or photo to the digitizer, check the stitch preview and save a JEF file for your Janome.
