the intro says it can output to various embroidery file formats including Brother's PES, Tajima's DST, Janome's JEF, Melco's EXP, and more, but I don't want to download unless it can handle .HUS. Does anyone who has this software already know the answer?

I have downloaded a 30-day trial of SewArt, version 32. I have tried to import a JPEG file to a new canvas but it is saying that "photo2.jpeg could not be opened. Contact vendor and supply file". Could you help me? Thank you.

According to the official information provided on the main website, the application supports import of the following image types: .bmp, .png, .jpg, .gif, .wmf, and .emf. If you cannot transfer a supported file, it seems that the program is not installed correctly. Please reinstall the package using an administrator account. If you still can't make it work, it means that the image is not compatible although is in a relevant format or there's a bug.

Answer by Stephen Prastman

The SewArt64 is the 64bit of the application that was designed to work exclusively on this architecture type. However, I've seen that the version 1.5 was one of the released ones on the official website as well. There is nowhere on the developer's website mentioned about the system requirements, but I've downloaded the product and installed it on Windows 10 64bit and it simply works.


This was probably a matter of choice as the latest version can be installed on both architecture types.

No, the software is not compatible with Macintosh operating system. There is a quote on their official website explaining the procedure you can use to install the application on a Mac OS enabled computer.


Here is what they're saying:


"All our software products are native Windows applications. That means they will not run on Mac computers without emulation (virtualization) software and a copy of Windows® installed as well. While we do not endorse emulators, there are several well-known commercial ones such as Bootcamp® for Mac (which ships with newer Mac computers), Parallels® Desktop for Mac, and VMware® Fusion. A free emulator which is highly regarded is Oracle's Virtual Box which does not require rebooting between the Windows and Mac operating systems. Once the emulation software is installed on your Mac, you must load a copy of Windows into the emulator. Most emulators will work with any copy of Windows starting at Windows XP and later. If you don't already own a copy of Windows, then legal copies of XP can be obtained for around $30 (on E-bay® for example)."

Can SewArt save files in the .EXP embroidery file format for Brenina?

Stephen Prastman
Answer by Stephen Prastman

According to the application's official page, the .exp, Viking(c) format for Brenina machines is among the supported output embroidery formats. I even tested it myself and after the stitching process is done, you can save the file in the .exp format.


Furthermore, SewArt does have a trial mode that lets you use it for 60 minutes for free, so you can install it and check out the functionality that it offers without actually spending any money.

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?

J
Answer by Julia Bocchetta

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.

I'm drawing 2D files with some drawing programs. I wonder if SewArt supports DXF, DWG, IGS file formats. These formats are supported by the most popular 2D software. With my utilities I can define the boundaries of the design with accuracy. I would like to try SewArt, but I don't know if it supports the above formats. Can you help?

P
Answer by Pete Clapp

No, SewArt doesn't support DXF, DWG, or IGS drawing files. The application has been developed to work only with .bmp, .png, .jpg, .gif, .wmf, .ico, .svg, .tif and .emf file formats:
