If you’re new to embroidery, you’ll note that some fonts come with a Bx or esa file, Esa fonts are wilcom embroidery fonts, while others only come with machine file types pes, Jef, or art.

It’s easy to get mixed up regarding the distinctions between an embroidered letter file and a Box font! With Bx fonts, you can use your keyboard to combine letters with free Embrilliance  embroidery software, then save the whole word in your machine’s file format (ex .pes, .jef). It is pretty beneficial! If you have Hatch or Wilcom software, which lets you accomplish the same thing with fonts, Esa fonts are wonderful.

In contrast, you must add each letter file to your embroidery machine as a file to make words with letter files in your embroidery machine file format. If you don’t have software that allows you to text with your keyboard, this will take much more time!
