They tell your machine what commands are required for embroidering designs. Machine File Formats: The following formats are specific to different brands of embroidery machines.They also don’t store the color information. They are made up of x and y movements and commands for the sewing machine. These are the smallest file formats in terms of size. Expanded Format Files (exp): These are the commercial formats for embroidery machines like.But remember, each situation is different, each USB flash drive is different and each embroidery machine is a little different, so although it may say your machine can use certain manufacturer's USB drives or a certain capacity drive, there are exceptions to everything.I’m sure we’ve gone over many times, but the most important thing to remember from in this piece is the fact that there exist three major types of embroidery formats: And remember, the newer machines can also read folders on your USB drive, which can help you organize and find designs faster if your USB drive contains lots of designs.īelow are links to PDF files from Baby Lock that may help you in determining what size USB flash drive your machine will take. Again, the less data being read, the faster the designs will be displayed on your screen. And another thought is, if you do use a 32 or 64 GB flash drive, don't fill it completely up. They may hold fewer designs than a 32 or 64, but like any drive being read by a computer, having less on the flash drive to read allows them to be accessed faster and therefore appear on your machine's screen faster. Now, depending on the USB manufacturer, you can actually use up to a 32 GB and even in some cases a 64 GB drive in your Destiny.Īlthough the processors in the new embroidery machines are faster and can handle the larger capacity flash drives, my personal opinion would be to use 4, 8, or 16 GB drives. When embroidery machines first started accepting USB flash drives, you could only use small 128, 256 or 512 MB capacity drives. Then we used floppy disks that held 1.44 MB of data and now today we can direct connect our embroidery machine to our computer or use USB 2.0 flash drives. If you remember back, the first way we moved designs to our embroidery machines was with dedicated flash cards and reader/writer box and software. One of the most asked questions from our Baby Lock Embroidery Machine owners is, what size USB flash drive can I use in my Baby Lock? As embroidery machines have progressed, so have their processor speeds, allowing for faster read and transfer speeds and new ways to get your embroidery designs to your machine.
