Description: Pfaff Embroidery Design Files (PCM) are a proprietary file format used to store embroidery designs produced by the Pfaff brand of embroidery machines. PCM files contain stitch patterns which can be used to embroidery clothing, accessories, and other textiles. These files can be opened and edited using various Pfaff design software applications.; An EXP file is an embroidery CAM (computer aided manufacturing) file saved in the Melco EXP format. It contains codes that tell the needle of a commercial sewing machine how to create an embroidery. EXP files may also be saved in the Bernina USB EXP format, which is used for embroideries made by personal sewing machines.

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.
