is that an Embroidery file ? (had to google that - dst is a file for autocad, but its a settings file....) - I can't do these

or do you mean a DSTV file (normally *.nc1) these are CNC files - I can do these for plates and most steel sections

Err, the embroidery one you can't do

Damn it...

Anyone else?

I can programme .dst files for embroidery machines, and embroider them also if you want.

I have software that in theory can convert bitmaps to .dst at the click of a button, but in practise what they generate is pretty well useless. In practise you need to generate the file from scratch using the bitmap as a template which is quite a lengthy process. You also need to run the programme on an embroidery machine to fine tune it for the particular material you are embroidering as each material reacts differently.

Hope this helps ... need to know eaxactly what you want ... and why.
