The file will be a .pes and compatible with any hoop as large as 4in x 6in, it can be sized up and the machine will automatically adjust the stich count. Feel free to contact me with any questions or custom files you'd like to have digitized. Included in the picture slide is a photo of what the file looks like in real life embroidered on a piece of cloth. The zip file contains multiple files not always necessary for your embroidery, these files are included in case you may want to find a use for them, the only file needed to embroider the image is the .pes file. PLEASE TEST THE FILES ON SCRAP MATERIAL FIRST! There is a possibility not all machines read the file exactly the same, if this is the case I would hate for your piece of fabric to be ruined without testing it first, always make sure to make a backing or pull off paper behind the fabric to provide stability for the needle.
