What is a .PES file?
A .PES file is a type of file used specifically for embroidery machines made by Brother. This file helps the embroidery machine understand how to create a specific design on fabric. It includes detailed instructions like when to stop stitching, when to jump to a different part of the design, and when to trim the thread. Additionally, it contains information about the colors to use from Brother's specific color palette, and details about the stitch density and length, which affect how the design looks and feels.
