| Description | PES files are a unique format created specifically for certain machines produced by Brother Industries and Bernina International. These files are essential to computer-aided manufacturing, forming the basis for embroidered patterns and images. They are particularly beneficial in areas associated with Bernina Home Embroidery and Babylock Brother. Software like CorelDRAW and specialized embroidery machine software can be used effectively to create these designs. |
| Technical details | PES files undergo a process of encoding where a series of coded lines are converted into an image that serves as the base for embroidery. This base image is then interpreted by the machine to create the design on the selected fabric. Typically used in computer-aided manufacturing, the PES file contains crucial instructions for tasks such as pausing or bypassing certain steps in the process. Furthermore, it facilitates the use of the embroidery machine's color options. |
