DST Embroidery Designs

DST is the industry-standard embroidery format used by Tajima and many commercial embroidery machines. It is one of the most universally supported embroidery formats and a staple for production shops that need consistent stitch data across multi-head equipment. If you are shopping for DST embroidery designs, you want clean, professionally digitized files that run reliably on commercial floors and on selected home machines that accept DST without a proprietary wrapper.

Our DST catalog covers logos, left-chest artwork, jacket-back motifs, applique, and high-volume seasonals digitized with production density in mind. DST primarily stores stitch information, so thread colors are typically assigned in your embroidery software or at the machine—ideal for shops that standardize colorways per run. Compatible platforms include Tajima, Barudan, SWF, Happy, Ricoma, Melco, ZSK, Toyota, Highland, Avance, and many other commercial systems. That broad compatibility is why DST remains a default exchange format between digitizers, shops, and freelance embroiderers.

Download DST files instantly after checkout, unzip, and transfer via USB or network workflow according to your machine. Need a home-machine native format instead?
