When running the same text design on multiple garments, DST's universal compatibility means the same file works across different machine brands in your shop. The color stop positions in the DST file tell operators when to change thread colors.
Production Tip
For high-volume text embroidery (such as uniform names), create a template DST file with your standard font and size, then simply run the same file with different thread colors at the color stop to personalise each item.
