Hardware USB Transfer Guide: How to Load .pes onto Your Machine

Crucial drive formatting and folder placement steps for Brother & Baby Lock machines.

1Format Drive as FAT32

Embroidery machines cannot recognize modern exFAT or NTFS filesystems. Use a standard USB 2.0 drive (8GB–16GB recommended) and format it as FAT32 with Master Boot Record (MBR).

Tip: Drives larger than 32GB often fail to mount on older Brother and Janome models.
2Folder Directory Structure

Brother machines will read files placed directly in the root directory or within one single subfolder.

Target: Root directory or 1 folder deep
3Safe Eject & Machine Insert

Always safely unmount or eject the USB stick from your operating system before unplugging. Premature disconnection corrupts embroidery jump tables.

Turn machine on and insert USB only when prompted on the LCD display.
