Chromebook

Edit a DST embroidery file on a Chromebook.

Most embroidery editing programs install on Windows or a Mac only. This workbench runs in the Chrome browser, so on a Chromebook you can open a DST, set thread colors, join and reorder color stops, and download the edited file to your Downloads folder.

Copy it to a USB stick from the Files app, and plug that into your machine.

Drop your DST file here or tap to choose one. Your file never leaves your device.

Worked example

The sample flower on this page has 8 stops in three threads: green (stem and two leaves), pink (three petals) and gold (bee and center). On a Chromebook it goes from 7 color changes to 2 with one press, and downloads as flower-sample-reordered.dst.

What it can't do on any computer

Digitize an image, resize, or add lettering. For those you still need a digitizing program or a service.

Questions

Does it work offline?

The page needs a connection to load. Once loaded, your file is read in the browser.

Does it work on a tablet or phone?

Yes, in a mobile browser, though a larger screen makes the stop list easier to use.

Where does the file go?

To your Downloads folder, named after your file with -reordered added.
