Why convert EXP to XXX?
EXP is the Melco Expanded format, read by Bernina home machines and Melco commercial embroidery machines. Convert to XXX when your Singer Futura reads XXX. SewFlow re-encodes your existing stitches for the new format — it never re-digitizes, so the design sews out identically.
What happens to thread colours
EXP files carry no thread-colour information (the format stores raw stitch data with no thread-colour table), so SewFlow assigns a preview palette to each colour block. The stitch sequence and colour stops stay exactly as digitized — check every block in the free preview before downloading.

Frequently asked questions
Will my design stitch out the same after converting EXP to XXX?
Yes. SewFlow re-encodes the same stitches rather than re-digitizing: stitch paths, jump and trim commands, and colour stops are preserved exactly, so the XXX file sews out identically to the original EXP design.
Which machines read XXX files?
XXX (Singer/Compucon format) is read by Singer Futura series machines and Compucon EOS software. Transfer through the Futura software or by USB, depending on your Singer model.
What happens to thread colours when converting EXP to XXX?
EXP files carry no thread-colour information (the format stores raw stitch data with no thread-colour table), so SewFlow assigns a preview palette to each colour block. The stitch sequence and colour stops stay exactly as digitized — check every block in the free preview before downloading.
