Love to see it OP! I would love to try this out.

I'm curious, how do you make sure that the embroidery files are valid of the file type (.exp) for example, and that B) things aren't done in such a way that cause the needle to break, stiches to overlap too much, etc etc that would otherwise harm a machine that reads the file?

Every format is written from the same list of stitch commands using byte layouts from pyembroidery. For machine safety, the defaults use standard densities and stitch lengths. There’s also a density map that shows where stitches pile up. If you give it a try and experience any problems, create a GH Issue and i'll look into it!
