'Digitizing' or creating embroidery designs requires a skilled person using a specialised tool. StitchArtist is that tool! With StitchArtist software you can create machine embroidery designs from scratch, using existing artwork or by ‘drawing with stitches’. You control the shapes and set the stitch type and properties, and StitchArtist generates stitches for you.
Easy and intuitive to use, StitchArtist has been designed to take the difficulty out of the software, allowing a user to concentrate on their design. The software uses a single mode to draw, set stitches, size, edit, rotate, sequence and set properties of design objects. Once you've learnt the basics described in the user guide you'll be delighted how easy it is to learn to digitize, and amazed at what you can create.

It features more creative treatments like configurable drawing tools and utilities that let you import & rework vector shapes, creating contours, tracing line art, automatically outline existing stitches, carving lines, offers creative options for custom motifs and so much more!
