Files

Embrilliance uses a few different file types, each having its own file extension. For example, ‘.BE’ is a working file. This file type contains all the Designs and Objects representing a single Design Page. These designs and objects can be edited, as they have not been forced to become a simple set of stitches, which is what most machine embroidery files are.

Licensed files, such as fonts will have .BF and .LF files. These are installed by the installer for our collections. You cannot edit or use these files as a user. The program loads them automatically as needed.

Stitch files, which in the commercial embroidery trade are called ‘expanded’ files such as .PES or .DST are simply collections of stitches, and if you are lucky, colors.
