NEW Hand Stitch
Wanting to create a unique stitch effect different from the perfect machine stitching you achieve every time? The Hand Stitch effect creates an organic hand embroidery effect by randomising the spacing, angle and length of the stitches. It can be applied to an entire design with just a single click so you can create embroidery with a more natural, vintage, homemade feel.
NEW Reef PhotoStitch
The Reef Photo Stitch feature allows you to convert black and white or grayscale images to detailed, artistic digitized designs. It concentrates on the darker areas of the image, creating a unique artistic style reminiscent of a coral reef.
NEW Colour PhotoStitch
Use the Colour PhotoStitch effect to create embroidery from photographs and other images. This improved feature produces variegated stitching using multiple thread colours allowing for more flexibility with colours and stitch setting adjustments. Create customised projects and gifts from personal photos!
NEW Keyboard Design Collection
Embroidery character designs and lettering fonts are very popular for many hobbyists. After purchasing these designs from third-party suppliers, users want to be able to use them in their embroidery software by mapping them to keyboard characters. The Keyboard Design Collection feature in Hatch allows you to do this!
Pre-mapped keyboard design collections are also included under the lettering tab for immediate use.
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.
NEW PhotoFlash
Achieve a vintage line printer look using PhotoFlash, which creates a one-colour Photo Stitch from varying spacing.
NEW Freehand Digitizing
Using the freehand tools, create artistic effects. Draw directly on the screen, similar to free-motion embroidery work or hand embroidery.
NEW ‘Close Shape’ Capability
Sometimes, an object appears to be closed, but it was either created using the Open Shape tool or converted from a vector object that was open. In order to address this problem, Hatch Embroidery 3 includes two new commands, Close Shape with Straight Line and Close Shape with Curve Line. You can close any object with a straight line or curved line.
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
Add beautiful textures and borders to your embroidery designs. With endless combinations, the creativity is in your hands.
Hatch V3 includes 4 new motif categories including a huge library of 281 fills and 148 motifs.
UPDATED Monogramming
Hatch V3 includes 74 professionally designed monogram templates that ready to be stitched out, or you can create your own with the 236 ornaments and 80 borders also included.
The Urban Collection now includes 10 new monogram templates offering you more design options. All monogram templates have also been updated with the same background colour.
NEW Digitized Fonts
With 10 new digitized fonts + 5 new japanese fonts, you have the freedom to create unique designs. These fonts were professionally created to deliver the best quality lettering - now with lettering improvements.

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 and numbers, 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.
