EXPMelco, Bernina
EXP File Viewer
An EXP holds the stitching and nothing else — no colours, no name, no thumbnail. If yours came off a Bernina there was a second file beside it holding the colourway, and this preview cannot see it. What it can tell you is everything about the stitching itself: the path, the number of thread changes, the stitch count and the finished size.

Embroidery area check
This check does not rotate or resize your file. Comparison of stitch bounds only. Machine limits, positioning and movement commands can still prevent sewing. Confirm the usable embroidery area in your manual.
PNG and the printed sheet are visual references, not machine files or full-size sewing templates. Preview shows the source file.
About this format
.EXP · MELCO, BERNINA
Melco EXP
Melco and Bernina machines read EXP. Like DST it stores movement only; colours travel beside it in a separate INF file, so a converted EXP arrives uncoloured.
What to watch for
The colours you see are ours, and there may be a file that has the real ones
A bare EXP carries no thread information. If this came from a Bernina USB stick, look for a .inf file with the same name in the same folder — compatible embroidery software may use that companion file to recover the thread list. The palette drawn here is assigned by us so you can tell the blocks apart.
Thread changes are still visible
EXP records changes between stitching blocks without storing their RGB colours. A thread can be reused in later blocks, so the block count is not necessarily the number of distinct spools. Use the original thread chart to plan the sequence.
What a preview cannot show you
This is the stitch path, not the finished embroidery — no pull, no density in the hand, no verdict on whether small detail will hold at this size.
