PES to JEF converter

SQ14b is 140 by 140 mm. RE20b is 140 by 200 mm. Rose Crest at 88.0 by 84.0 mm fits SQ14b with room on both axes. Rotate it 90 degrees and the size becomes 84.0 by 88.0 mm. The stitch count stays 6,420. Flip X mirrors the path and does not change the size.

A brother pes to janome jef file is centered so the design’s middle sits on the hoop origin within 0.5 mm. Janome and Elna read JEF. They do not read PES. This page is the format change, not a second copy of the home converter with the letters swapped.

The reverse direction is a jef to pes converter on this same page. Choose PES and the file is a Brother PES with a Brother 64 color byte. The on-screen match for Rose Crest stop 1 stays Janome #244, which is the machine index, not a ΔE line.

Varsity Monogram A is 96.0 by 96.0 mm and 4,810 stitches, still inside SQ14b. Nordic Snowflake is 148.0 by 148.0 mm, so it does not fit a 140 mm square until you scale it. The hoop status says so before you download.

A free JEF color table is a Janome machine index. Rose Crest stop 1, RGB 180, 34, 50, maps to Janome #244. That line does not include a ΔE, because this page is showing the index the format can hold, not a Madeira recipe.

Madeira #1838, Isacord #1904, Sulky #1034, and Robison-Anton #2418 are the same red read on other brands. They stay on the screen unless you buy the thread pack. The pack writes the numeric catalog code into a JEF color table. A PES byte cannot hold 1838.

Stop stitch counts stay with the design. Rose Crest is 2,100, 1,600, 1,200, 900, and 620. Changing the format does not recolor the path and does not change those counts. The summary still shows jumps and trims beside the size.

Elna machines that read JEF use this same file. There is no separate Elna format on this bench. If the hoop is RE20b, the field is 140 by 200 mm, so a tall design may fit in one orientation and not the other.

Export centers the bounding box. A read-back of the JEF should report the same stitch count and a size within 0.5 mm of the hoop. If you rotated to 84.0 by 88.0 mm, that is the size the file should show.

Leave about 3 mm inside the field when you can. The pass or fail test still uses the full field. A design that clears the field by less than 3 mm on one side gets a tight note, and the Fits line does not change.

Geometric scale from 80% to 120% is downloadable and keeps 6,420 stitches on Rose Crest. Density resampling is a preview here and a file only in the 24-file seller bundle. Do not expect a free JEF to invent stitches you did not load.

The file never leaves the browser until you download it. A paid pack, if you buy one, is built in memory from the stitch coordinates and returned as a ZIP. It is not stored. Run a scrap sew-out before a garment.
