Title: open a dst file?
Post by: Frog on January 13, 2017, 04:34:10 AM

Can anyone in TSB land check out a dst file for me and perhaps convert it to something more standard?
TIA

I guess we can. But what is more standard? What embroidery machine will run it?

I won't be embroidering it. That is merely the only file they have. In fact, I reconstructed what I understood the design to be. I have just attached my version as a pdf, along with the dst file in an email to you, so that even if you can't convert the dst file, you could confirm if mine is the same.
Thanks.

I have an embroidery file viewer somewhere, and it was free. Handy to have when you don't embroider in house but need to see embroidery files from time to time.  Maybe it was this one?

Thanks. Boris was able to help me, and also included a link to a similar program called Ambassador.
Now, of course, I get to see that not only is the image small for a hat, but, of course, fonts that I don't recognize.
I'm posting it in the Fonts section now to see if anyone can now help in that regard.

Embroidery fonts are seldom fonts that are commonly known. they are somewhat unique except for the real common types like block styles and some others.
You may have to drop $15 to get it vectored up.
