SWF Format Details

DST (Data Stitch Tajima) is the primary embroidery format used in SWF industrial machines.

  • DST stores stitch coordinates only (no thread color data).
  • Compatible with all major digitizing software.
  • Recommended export format for commercial production.
  • Older machines may require flash card or floppy disk transfer.

Important Production Notes

Always verify:

  • Maximum hoop size
  • Total stitch count limitations
  • Machine firmware compatibility

For commercial embroidery, DST remains the safest and most universally supported format.
