DST Optimizer - Automatic Thread Cutting for Long Jumps

This tool automatically inserts thread cut commands before long jump stitches in your DST embroidery files, eliminating those annoying connecting threads you'd normally trim by hand.

How it works:

  • Upload a DST file or ZIP containing multiple files
  • Tool detects long jumps (default: over 9mm)
  • Inserts automatic TRIM commands before each long jump
  • Download optimized files with same folder structure

Cut Methods:

  • TRIM - Machine cuts thread automatically, no stops
  • COLOR CHANGE - Machine pauses, you press START to continue
  • STOP - Similar to color change

Optimization Modes:

  • Smart Mode - Optimized cut placement (recommended, prevents too many cuts)
  • Aggressive Mode - Cuts all jumps over threshold

Best for: Commercial embroidery machines (Ricoma, etc.) that support automatic thread cutting. Saves time by eliminating manual thread trimming after embroidery.
