What a conversion keeps
- Stitches
- Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
- Colours
- Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
- Trims, jumps and stops
- Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
- Objects and lettering
- Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
