Convert FL32 to OTB

Convert FL32 embroidery design for Tajima machine

Tajima embroidery machines require designs in the OTB format. Converting an FL32 file to OTB allows professional embroiderers and small business owners to use designs from various sources on their specific Tajima hardware, ensuring compatibility and production continuity.

Switch embroidery software from Wilcom to Tajima DG/ML

When an embroidery business upgrades its software or switches to a Tajima system, existing design libraries in the FL32 format (associated with Wilcom software) become unusable. Converting them to OTB makes the entire design portfolio immediately compatible with the new Tajima DG/ML by Pulse software environment.

Open a client's FL32 design file for production

Embroidery shops often receive design files from clients or other designers. If the file is in the FL32 format but the shop runs on Tajima machines, converting it to OTB is a necessary step to open, edit, and stitch out the design, fulfilling the client's order without delay.

Use a free FL32 embroidery design on a commercial Tajima machine

Many free online embroidery designs are available in the FL32 format. To use these designs on industrial-grade Tajima machines, which are standard in commercial settings, a conversion to OTB is essential to unlock a vast library of free resources for professional use.

Prepare a digitized logo for corporate apparel orders

A logo digitized in Wilcom (FL32) needs to be stitched on hats or uniforms using a multi-head Tajima machine. Converting the file to OTB ensures the logo is perfectly formatted for high-volume production runs, maintaining brand consistency across hundreds of items.

Share embroidery designs with a production partner using Tajima

When collaborating with another embroidery shop or a subcontractor, file format compatibility is crucial. Converting your FL32 files to the universal OTB format for Tajima ensures your partner can immediately run the designs on their equipment, streamlining the supply chain.

Restore and use an old FL32 design library on new Tajima equipment

Businesses upgrading their old embroidery machines to modern Tajima systems need to preserve their investment in existing designs. Converting an entire archive of FL32 files to OTB future-proofs the design library, allowing it to be used on new, more efficient equipment.

Fix a 'format not supported' error on a Tajima machine

Attempting to load an FL32 file directly onto a Tajima machine will result in an error. Converting the file to OTB resolves this issue, allowing the machine to read the design data correctly and preventing costly production stoppages.

Standardize design files from multiple digitizers for a single job

Large projects may involve designs from several digitizers who use different software. Converting all incoming FL32 files to a single, standardized OTB format ensures seamless workflow and flawless execution when running the job on a bank of Tajima machines.

Sell a digitized design to a shop that uses Tajima software

As a freelance digitizer working in Wilcom (FL32), offering your designs in the OTB format significantly expands your market. It makes your designs instantly usable for the large segment of the market that operates on the Tajima platform, increasing sales potential.
