How to use DST Embroidery for Abil
- Embird, Wilcom, Hatch or Brother PE-Design — open the .dst, look through the color sequence and the stitch-out simulation before putting the fabric on.
- Ink/Stitch (free, an add-on for Inkscape) — opens DST and shows the stitch paths; handy if you have no professional package.
- Transfer to the machine — the file is written to a USB stick or passed through the machine's software; if needed, that software converts DST into its own format (PES, JEF and others) by itself.

FAQ: DST Embroidery for Abil
Which embroidery machines are supported?
DST is a universal format supported by Tajima, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Husqvarna Viking, and more.
What is the maximum embroidery size?
Default is 200x200mm (standard hoop). Can be increased to 360x200mm for larger machines.
Can I change thread colors?
Yes, each map layer (roads, buildings, water) has its own thread color that can be changed in embroidery software.
How many thread colors will the work take?
One per map layer — roads, buildings, water, greenery. Between layers the file holds a color change command, the machine stops and asks for the thread to be re-loaded.
Why do the small details merge together?
The design is fitted to the hoop size, and the larger the area you take, the closer the streets end up to each other. Take a small fragment of the city — a block or the center, not the whole city.
