PES files are the stitch files for the Brother embroidery machines. They are created using the Brother PE Design software.

Also, you cannot convert a PES file to any file using Pre-Design software. Pre-Design lets you draw and then save into many types of files but you cannot go from a sew file to an IQP file using Pre-Design. You need a dxf file and the IQ software to convert to IQP (I don't have a IQ - I have a CQ). I wish there was a way to convert my PES files or even my DST files to a CQ format, but you can't do that yet.

With Pre-Design Studio you can save (export) as DXF file. That DXF file can be opened in IntelliQuilter without any conversion.

Pes-files are embroidery stitch files, containing lines as well as fills and colors, all separate objects. "Computerwise" pes-files are totally different from DXF files, so there's no conversion possible without re-digitizing.

(Most pes-files wouldn't be suitable for a quilt system because of the various layers and density).

The easiest way would be to open an image of the pes-file in Pre-Design via menu Background, then take the curve tool and trace the lines you want in the quilt pattern. *Think quilt* while tracing and find continuous lines. Then save and choose File > Export DXF. Open the DXF in IQ and sew :)
