File recognition problem.

Question

I have a trial version of Sewart64. I have followed directions and can convert a file to a .pes file, however, when I try to open it with my embroidery software (PE Next), I get the message "unexpected file format". Why, if the file is a .pes, won't it open?

Answer 1

I have installed PE Next and indeed, it allows opening PES files. The problem is the Sewart64 might generate a PES file that is incompatible with PE Next even if the file format is the same. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do except saving the PES file again, but try to change the settings to make it compatible within the application itself.
