PES files store stitch blocks along with color information, so your machine shows the correct thread sequence on screen. SewFlow writes compatible PES blocks that load on popular models including the PE800, SE700, SE1900, and Luminaire series.
Tips for Clean PES Output
- •Use flat, graphic AI artwork with a small palette.
- •Confirm the design fits your hoop before downloading.
- •Watch for cramped fills in the preview and size up if needed.
- •Test stitch on similar fabric first.
Check Your Hoop
Brother and Babylock hoops vary by model. Set the design size in SewFlow to match your largest available hoop for the most flexibility.
