- Description
- MIT is a proprietary file format used for embroidery designs and sewing machine control software. It is used primarily by Mitsubishi sewing machines, and certain other brands that are compatible with the MIT format. It contains information about the thread colors, number of stitches, and other data that is necessary to create an embroidered design.
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
