Convert SHV to PES

Understanding SHV and PES file formats

The SHV file format is commonly used in embroidery machines, particularly those manufactured by Husqvarna Viking. It contains stitch data that guides the embroidery machine in creating designs on fabric. On the other hand, the PES file format is widely used in Brother and Babylock embroidery machines. It also contains stitch data but is compatible with a broader range of embroidery machines, making it a popular choice for embroidery enthusiasts.
