Hoopbench

Husqvarna Viking HUS files

HUS is an older Husqvarna Viking format. It stores commands, x moves and y moves as three separate compressed streams, with colours as slots in a list of 29 threads.

Used by

Older Husqvarna Viking machines.

What it keeps

Stitch positions, jumps, trims, colour stops and thread slots.

What it can't hold

Exact colours, since only the 29 thread list is available.

What to watch for

Hoopbench opens HUS but does not write it. Newer Viking machines use VP3, so convert to that.

Best for

Reading old files so that you can bring them into a current format.
