PES — Brother / Babylock Embroidery File
Open BetabetaPES is the de-facto standard of home and hobby embroidery: the native format of Brother machines and compatible Babylock and Bernina. Its key difference from Tajima DST is embedded thread colors right inside the file, so the machine itself prompts which thread to load. On osm2cdr.ru a map is translated into embroidery with a running stitch along its lines: roads, water, greenery and building outlines are traced over the geometry. It is an honest baseline for personalized gifts and refinement in PE-Design or Ink/Stitch, not a production-ready satin-fill design.
