A workflow you can follow
Four steps from image to machine.
Plain-language guidance first. Technical detail is available when you need it.
Set requirements
Choose the machine, hoop, target size, fabric, color limit, and expected text.
Review and validate
Compare the artwork, paths, stitch preview, thread order, and validation evidence.
Download and test
Approve immutable production files, then record the physical sew-out and setup.
Transparent validation
Know what passed—and what needs a closer look.
Every result includes supporting detail and a practical next step.

Recorded physical test · Brother M370Human review & physical testing
Automation helps. Physical proof still matters.
StitchSwift validates file structure, dimensions, color order, and common design constraints. Material behavior still varies, and difficult artwork may need an experienced operator.
- Very small lettering or fine details
- Gradients, portraits, fur, and color blending
- Dense overlaps or artwork outside the hoop
- Unexpected objects or incompatible thread order
Questions before you stitch
Clear answers, without the jargon.
Machine embroidery has variables. The workflow keeps those variables visible.
What are PES and DST files?
PES is a machine format used by Brother embroidery machines. DST is a widely supported compatibility format. StitchSwift provides both by default.
Does a passed validation guarantee the physical result?
No. Validation reduces preventable file and design issues, but fabric, stabilizer, needle, tension, and thread still affect the sew-out.
Can I edit the result later?
Yes. The package includes an editable SVG vector master plus clear thread and production references.
Which machine is currently validated?
The first recorded profile is the Brother Innov-is M370 with a 100 × 100 mm hoop. More profiles can be added over time.
