Honest limits

Who this is NOT for

Not for you if you don't have an embroidery machine/software that reads DST/PES/JEF (stitch files, not finished goods), expect hand-digitizing on light fabric without stabilizer, or think photos will look like prints — photos are thread painting that reads well at arm's length, not under a loupe. Always test-stitch first. Source: STORE_LISTING.md Read this first + README Honest limits.

Fair questions — from the listing

FAQ

Answers are taken from the product's own STORE_LISTING.md — we invent nothing. If the listing has fewer than 5 questions, we show only what exists.

Which file formats does it produce?

DST, PES, and JEF — three formats covering nearly every home embroidery machine sold last 20 years. Each conversion writes all three. Source: STORE_LISTING.md FAQ 1

How large are the files, stitch counts?

Logo ~1,000–3,000 stitches; photo several thousand up to 12,000 cap. At 700/min, 6,000 stitches ≈8–9 min. Preview shows estimate before thread. Source: FAQ 2

Will it work with my machine?

If your machine/software opens DST/PES/JEF — Brother, Babylock, Janome, Bernina, Singer, Husqvarna Viking, Kenmore, Pfaff — yes. Hoop size is your machine's limit; preview shows mm first. Source: FAQ 3

Can I convert any image I find online?

No — only art you made/bought/have permission to use. Rights are your responsibility; marketplace rules differ and change. Source: FAQ 4

What's the refund policy?

14 days, no forms, via store message button — sew something, if files don't work on your machine, money back. Source: FAQ 5

Checkout — fail-closed

Checkout

Shop is the only checkout. Today the manifest is BLOCKED — no live Gumroad link until permalink exists. The Buy button stays absent and the honest “no live checkout yet” note remains. See checkout-manifest.json.

12 of 13 products have checkout_url = null (FREE magnet has no checkout). We do not add a fake or placeholder buy link.
