    Tips for Clean JPG-to-JEF Results

    • JPGs are great source images, but remove the background and limit colors for the cleanest stitches.
    • Keep the design under your hoop size, and remember more stitches means a stiffer result.
    • Always run a test stitch on scrap fabric before the real project.

    Pick the Right Format

    JEF, the native format for Janome machines — if your machine doesn't read JEF, re-export from SewFlow in JEF, DST, PES, EXP, XXX, or SEW instead.
