## How it works

1. **Upload artwork or a stitch file** — Choose embroidery files for private conversion
2. **Choose conversion outputs** — Choose the format your machine expects.
3. **Output validation** — Check dimensions, stitch count, thread count, jumps, trims, colour changes, and the final end command.

### What should I check after converting TBF to JEF+?

Check dimensions, stitch count, thread count, jumps, trims, colour changes, and the final end command.

### Will thread colours look exactly the same?

Some formats store full colour information, while others store only colour-change stops. You may need to assign your preferred thread chart at the machine.

### Do I need embroidery software?

No software is needed to submit digitising work, convert a supported file, review status, or download a result. Advanced manual stitch editing may still require specialist embroidery software.

### What production files are included?

Every completed job includes a software-rendered stitch preview and thread chart. The selected machine files, production worksheet and ZIP package stay locked until you unlock the download. EXP jobs also include Bernina-compatible INF colour information and a BMP preview companion after unlock.

### Is it free?

The stitch preview is free and does not require an account. Daily and monthly preview limits apply. Downloading the machine file, ZIP or worksheet is a separate unlock. Machine-file downloads require processing credits, single-file checkout or an active subscription allowance. Credits unlock files; they do not start the job.
