Janome Primary Embroidery Formats

  • JEF+ – Extended format for advanced models.
  • JPX – Modern format for large hoop models.
  • SEW – Older Janome format for small hoop machines.
  • PCS – Early card-based format (older Memory Craft models).

Important Notes

Older Memory Craft models often limit designs to 12 color changes or 30,000 stitches per file. If exceeded, the design must be split into multiple files.
