What Embroidery Format Does the Brother SE630 Use?

The Brother SE630 uses the PES embroidery format. Choose the file ending in .pes when you download a design for this machine.

The Brother SE630 is a sewing and embroidery combination machine with a maximum embroidery area of 4 x 4 inches (100 x 100 mm). A design must fit inside that area to load, so pick the 4x4 size. The 5x7 and 6x10 sizes are too large for this machine.

To use a design on the SE630:

1. Unzip the download on your computer.
2. Find the .pes file in the 4x4 size.
3. Copy it to a USB flash drive.
4. Plug the drive into the machine and select the design on the screen.

The SE630 loads designs from a USB flash drive.
