Convert It, Mac

The .JEF/.JEF+ File
The Janome embroidery machines use this file. It is very sim-
ilar to the .SEW format, but has fewer restrictions. JEF+ is a JEF
file saved by some Janome machines.
The .HUS File
Husqvarna Viking embroidery machines use this file.
Although the color palette is somewhat limited (29 colors), this file
has no limitation on stitch count. Color counts per file should not
exceed 22.
The .PCS and .PCM Files
Pfaff home embroidery machines use the .PCS format. This
format contains a maximum of 16 colors per design, and a maxi-
mum of 14000 stitches per design for older machines and 28000
stitches per design for newer machines. Designs in this format often
do not have colors chosen specifically for that design. As a result,
they can be unpleasant onscreen, but may sew out nicely. Later ver-
sions of the Pfaff software have the ability to use custom RGB col-
ors. When this occurs, the nearest name from the .PES color palette
is displayed for convenience. Convert it writes .PCS files using the
standard 16 color palette.
Note: PCM is a format created to distinguish Mac versions of
PCS, which differ slightly.
More about converting designs
The section How do I convert a design? describes a common
and simple conversion task of converting a design downloaded
from the Internet. There is much more capability in design conver-
sion, and this section will cover all aspects of design conversion.
