Baby Lock makes popular embroidery machines, and getting designs onto them starts with the right file format. This guide covers Baby Lock's native formats, which SewFlow output to choose, and how to create machine-ready designs for free.
Baby Lock File Formats
Baby Lock machines typically use PES files. With SewFlow, export your design as PES — a widely compatible format that Baby Lock machines read reliably. If your specific model supports another format, choose the closest match in the export menu.
