Attention!

The development is discontinued. Although the plugin is still available for download, please use StitchBuddy-QL to preview embroidery files on your Mac.

Overview

Janome Embroidery Machines (e. g. the MC350E) use a proprietary file format for patterns: „Janome Embroidery Format“ (sample files from Janome). Most machines are able to preview these files, but sometimes you want to check them directly at your computer without the hassle of transfering.

JEFview previews JEF files directly on your Mac! As a Quick Look plugin it integrates seamlessly into the Finder‘s Cover Flow, Spotlight and every Quick Look enabled application like Apple‘s Mail.

Owners of a Brother / Babylock / Bernina embroidery machine may download the comparable plugin „PESviewQL“.
