Embroidery software for Happy
Embroidery digitizing software for Happy machines.
Qepe writes the DST your Happy reads, or a TAP, sized for the machine’s field and its caps, and checks the design against the artwork before it reads the file back and saves it, on a Mac or a Windows PC.
Not released yet. From the first release: 7 days free, then €149 a year.
Launch offer: €99 for the first year, for the first 100 shops.
The Happy hoops in Qepe
| Hoop | Embroidery field |
|---|---|
| Round 15 cm | ≈ 140 × 140 mm |
| Largest field 29 × 28.4 cm | 290 × 284 mm |
| Cap field 29 × 6.9 cm | 290 × 69 mm |
≈ The maker publishes no field for this hoop: Qepe estimates it as the frame less 10 mm. Measure your own and add it as a custom hoop when it matters.
Set Qepe up for your Happy
Choose Happy
Click the machine chip in the top bar and pick Happy. From then on Qepe writes DST, counts 12 needles and offers the hoops above.
Match the trims
Under Trim, set the number of jump codes your machine cuts at, 3 until you change it. Qepe writes every trim that way, and the export says what to set.
Let Qepe pick the hoop
With no hoop chosen, Qepe picks the smallest that takes the design, or offers a 90° turn. A design larger than every hoop is split into hoopings, each its own file.
Export DST
Qepe writes the file, reads it back and compares every needle point with the screen. A file that doesn’t match is never saved.
- TAP holds DST’s stitches without its header. Happy’s software writes a MON file beside it; Qepe doesn’t, so use DST if your machine wants one.
Questions
- Which file does a Happy embroidery machine read?
- DST, and TAP, Happy’s own: the same stitches without DST’s header. Qepe writes both.

Where the machine figures come from
The model, needles, field and hoops as each maker or its dealer publishes them, collected in Qepe’s machine profiles between 12 and 21 October 2026. Machine names only say which machines Qepe writes for.
