Convert U01 to PES
Translate a Barudan U01 stitch design into PES for a compatible Brother or Baby Lock machine. U01 needle selections are not a colour chart: the preview and PES download use assigned colours. Match the stitching sequence to your original needle setup before choosing threads.

Drag to pan when zoomed. Zoom changes the preview only.
Large design: the on-screen preview and PNG use simplified stitch paths. The converted machine file keeps the full stitch data.
Thread order
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.
The two formats
Barudan U01
Barudan commercial machines read U01. It uses needle-selection commands rather than a thread-colour palette. Check needle assignments against the threads loaded on your machine.
Brother PES
A Brother embroidery format also used by compatible Baby Lock and some other machines. Versions and colour information vary. A readable preview or conversion does not guarantee that your machine accepts the file; check its version and embroidery-area limits.
What to watch for
Needle numbers do not tell us thread shades
U01 controls needle selection but does not supply an RGB thread palette. Assigned colours distinguish blocks; they cannot identify which physical threads were loaded on the Barudan machine.
Home machines handle changes differently
PES uses a thread-colour sequence rather than your original Barudan needle setup. Check each colour change in the converted file, particularly when the source returns to a needle used earlier.
Industrial dimensions may not fit a home hoop
The converter does not shrink, split or re-digitise the design. Check PES support and the usable embroidery area on the destination model, then test before production.
