Hatch Composer is the perfect choice of software for those who desire to be highly creative without learning the art of digitizing. Create your own unique designs quickly and easily by editing and customizing everything to your individual style with professional monogramming, lettering and more. With auto-digitizing, multi-hooping, reshaping, design object editing, vector file support and more, you have an exponential amount of creative control.
With Composer V3 and its new improvements, there is even more you can do. Use new features like Laydown tool, Keyboard Design Collection, Center All, Hints Docker, Sequence Docker, sample designs & artwork, and so much more to create a library of fabulous projects.
NEW Laydown Stitch
The Laydown Stitch feature will automatically create a light fill to flatten the nap of textured fabrics like terry toweling and fur. This is to prevent the stitches from getting lost in the nap of the fabric, so you can achieve clean, visible embroidery.
This tool also includes a stitch type with the option of one or two layers with adjustable stitching length, angles and spacing.
LIMITED USE* Keyboard Design Collection
In the Lettering tab of Composer V3, a new Keyboard Design Collection category has been added, along with pre-mapped keyboard design collections for immediate use.
*Mapping of other purchased designs is available in Digitizer.
NEW Digitized Fonts
Create distinctive designs with 2 new digitized fonts and 5 Japanese fonts. They were created professionally to provide the highest quality lettering, now with lettering enhancements.
Plus, 10 new Tatami patterns and 6 quilt labels have also been added!
NEW Center All Feature
Hatch Embroidery automatically centres your design in the hoop by default. With the new manual option, you can lock the hoop position which means it won't automatically centre while you are digitizing.
Updated Multi-position Hoops
You can set multiple hoops, split the design into sewing fields and output the design to multiple files, each with just 1 click. Hoopings can be viewed before you finish to save time and get the perfect result. Digital placement markers can be added for perfect hoop positioning.
Hatch 3 now supports all known Brother and Babylock multi-position hoops, as well as the ability to split files into separate hoopings. Hoops include:
- 100mm x 172mm
- 130mm x 300mm
- 360mm x 360mm
UPDATED Fills & Motifs
Enhance your embroidery designs with stunning textures and borders using fills and 95 motifs (including 4 new motif sets). The possibilities are unlimited, and you have complete control over your creativity.
UPDATED Monogramming
With 74 professionally designed templates that are ready to be stitched out, including 10 new templates, Composer V3 offers you more design options. Or, you can create your own with the included 236 ornaments and 80 borders.
All monogram templates have also been updated with the same background colour.
UPDATED Sample & Alphabet Designs
Hatch V3 includes new sample and alphabet designs (2) that were created to be used with the new features. Choose from a wonderful library of designs that were created for features like laydown stitch, hand stitch, reef photostitch, colour photostitch and more. This includes standard designs, emoji designs with a variety of characters, objects & symbols, 25 vintage border designs, cross-stitch designs and others.
UPDATED Sample Artwork
You'll find 55 new sample artwork image files that include PNG, vector (EPS) and CorelDRAW vector files (CDR). These new sample files cover a great selection of categories including baking, emojis, gardening, holidays and outlines and are great for mockups on items like shirts.
UPDATED Machine Support
With improved support and enhancements for domestic machines, Hatch V3 can accommodate for many popular single-needle and multi-needle machines of all types and models.
Machine file improvements have also been made to support many popular machine file formats.
UPDATED Hoop Management
You'll enjoy the hooping enhancements in Hatch V3 which provide better hoop management for use with your designs. With a hoop list tailored to your machine and model, you can easily find and select hoops compatible with your machine. Plus, you can also create and add custom hoops that are suitable for your machine.
UPDATED Sequence Docker
The sequencing toolbox now combines colouring and selection in reshape mode. Sequence Docker provides an easy way to view colour blocks and individual objects in a design via the objects view, so you can rearrange them to establish the stitching order. This feature will reduce many common user errors and save hours of time.
NEW In App Hits
Learning Hatch Embroidery can take some time. From within the software, the new Hints docker is a valuable learning resource. When the docker is open (the default), whenever a feature is selected, context-sensitive help appears. Each hint provides a short feature description as well as a link to a short video. Additionally it includes a link to the Hatch Academy and a reference to the relevant topic of the user handbook.
