How to Create a .dst Embroidery File using Java

Question

I want to create a .dst embroidery file using Java. Are there any supporting libraries available? Or is it possible to convert any kind of image file to the .dst embroidery file

Answer 1

The short answer to your question is, no. There are currently no popular libraries for generating .dst embroidery files with Java. My guess is that you will have a lot more luck trying to convert other file types to the .dst formats. The only option there (that I know of) is Corel Draw.

In the end, the best solution I can think of is to use the Tajima Ambaasador website. You have to register, but I believe most of their design/DST services are free.

(After some searching around online I also found this website, which has some more free software and seems like the best place to start if you're looking for information.)
