The VP3 file format appears to be series of nested sections. Most sections contain tagged records.
The VP3 file format appears to be series of nested tagged sections. The files seen so far, start with a header of signature bytes and "Produced by..." string; followed by a tagged embroidery-summary packet. Like Russian dolls, the embroidery-summary packet contains a tagged hoop-centred packet after some information about stitched area, stitching time, etc. The hoop-centred packet expresses a centred stitch extent and contains several tagged thread packets. Each thread packet has colour and weight information, also containing one stitch-rum packet.


In the style of Backus–Naur Form,  
The file format could logically contain several embroideries, and each embroidery contain more then one hoop, but this has not been seen. Perhaps to contain a library of patterns, or to split a large design over several hoops.


File = File-header Extent
The tags seen, so far, are,
* 0 2 0 - Embroidery-summary packet
* 0 3 0 - Hoop-centred packet
* 0 5 0 - Thread packet

Viking/Husqvarna Pfaff/Singer 3 VP3

The VP3 file format appears to be series of nested tagged sections. The files seen so far, start with a header of signature bytes and "Produced by..." string; followed by a tagged embroidery-summary packet. Like Russian dolls, the embroidery-summary packet contains a tagged hoop-centred packet after some information about stitched area, stitching time, etc. The hoop-centred packet expresses a centred stitch extent and contains several tagged thread packets. Each thread packet has colour and weight information, also containing one stitch-rum packet.

The file format could logically contain several embroideries, and each embroidery contain more then one hoop, but this has not been seen. Perhaps to contain a library of patterns, or to split a large design over several hoops.

The tags seen, so far, are,

  • 0 2 0 - Embroidery-summary packet
  • 0 3 0 - Hoop-centred packet
  • 0 5 0 - Thread packet
  • 0 1 0 - Stitch-run packet


In the style of Backus–Naur Form,

File = File-header Embroidery-summary

Embroidery-summary = Summary-details {Hoop-centred}
