Status

What it is

MIT may be related to Mitsubishi embroidery workflows, but this association is unverified here.

Satin Studio behavior

Satin Studio documents this format for identification and inspection. It does not open or export the file.

Versions and variants

Satin Studio checks the file signature and dialect rather than trusting the extension. An unrecognized version remains unopened, with the original file preserved for inspection.

File identification notes

Unknown.

Observed structure notes

• Observed MIT records are two bytes. Low five bits of each byte hold X/Y magnitude, high bit stores sign, and bits 0x60 from both bytes combine into a four-bit control value.
• Observed readers scale movement by 2.0. Control 0b0111 is stitch, 0b1100 is jump, 0b1000 after a stitch can mark color change, and 0b0000 is end-like.

Structure sketch

Observed MIT files use compact two-byte records:

struct MitCandidate<'a> {
    records: &'a [MitRecord],
}

struct MitRecord {
    x_bits: u8,                        // low 5 bits magnitude; high bit sign; bits 5-6 part of command
    y_bits: u8,                        // low 5 bits magnitude; high bit sign; bits 5-6 part of command
}

enum MitCommand {
    Stitch,
    Jump,
    ColorChangeCandidate,
    EndCandidate,
    Unknown(u8),
}

Compatibility evidence

The notes above help identify and inspect the format; they do not imply import or export support. Keep the original file and record the machine and software that produced it.
