U01 File Viewer
Open a U01 file to inspect the stitch path, needle-change blocks and design dimensions of a Barudan pattern. Colours are assigned to distinguish steps; they are not the machine's actual thread colours. Keep your needle setup available when reviewing the sequence.

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.
About this format
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.
What to watch for
Needle selection is not a colour palette
U01 contains needle-selection commands but no RGB thread chart. The preview cannot infer the thread loaded on each needle and does not display a verified needle-to-spool assignment.
A block is not necessarily a new spool
A pattern can return to a needle or thread already used. The block count describes stitching sections, not the number of distinct threads you must buy or load.
Check the Barudan setup
The size comparison describes the stitching area only. Confirm the threads, needle assignments, hoop and machine settings before a test stitch-out; this viewer does not simulate the machine.
