PES to DST converter

Rose Crest is 88.0 by 84.0 mm and 6,420 stitches, with 18 jumps and 6 trims and five color stops. The first stop is still 2,100 stitches. A DST download should read back at 88.0 by 84.0 mm. The header contains LA:, which is the DST label, not a PES signature.

PES jump and trim commands become the control codes a Tajima-style machine expects. DST does not have a separate trim opcode the way PES does, so a trim may travel as a jump record. The on-screen trim count still comes from the design you loaded.

Botanical Wreath is 124.0 by 122.0 mm, 9,150 stitches, 22 jumps, and 8 trims. Varsity Monogram A is 96.0 by 96.0 mm and 4,810 stitches. Use those when you want a busier jump map than Rose Crest. The counts are on the strip before you export.

Color order stays on screen because the DST will not keep it. Print the free summary if you need a paper list at the machine. It carries a stitchfileconverter.com footer. A watermark-free 1:1 operator sheet is only in the paid thread pack.

DST and EXP store color stops only, not RGB. The five Rose Crest colors, including Foxy Red at 180, 34, 50, remain in the browser so you can read them. They are not bytes in the DST. A later DST-to-PES conversion cannot get them back from that DST.

If the commercial machine stops for color, the operator needs your list: 2,100 of the first color, then 1,600, 1,200, 900, and 620. The file will stop. It will not name the spool. Keep the summary next to the hoop.

Do not tell a buyer the DST “includes Madeira #1838.” The number can be on your sheet. It is not in the DST. The paid pack can write brand numbers into a JEF color table and onto a 1:1 sheet. The DST still has no RGB field.

A file may be up to 10 MB and 250,000 stitches. A batch of 50 files, 25 MB combined, is the paid cleanup, not this free download. One PES in, one DST out, at the size you see on the hoop.

A 4×4 field is 100 by 100 mm. Rose Crest fits it. Botanical Wreath at 124 mm does not. The status is Exceeds or Fits before the DST is written, using the same sewing fields as the other pages.

Tajima’s 150 mm round hoop uses a 142 mm safe circle. A design fits when its diagonal is within 142 mm. That check is on the hoop chart and in the hoop menu. It is not a 100 by 100 mm square with a round name.

Scale from 80% to 120% keeps the stitch count and is downloadable as a machine file. Density changes the count on screen and hides the free machine button. The 24 resized files, if you need them, are the seller bundle.

Center on export puts the middle of the design within 0.5 mm of the origin. Read the DST back. Size and stitch count should agree with the hoop. Then sew a scrap before the garment. Stabilizer and needle size are still your choice.
