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.
