I have tried Wilcom , PE Desgin [ Brother software ] and Tajima by Puls and I can tell that Tajima is the best for small/difficult design . It has soo many useful tools and options but its the hardest one to learn though and the most expensive ...

Their auto digitize function isn’t perfect - none are, you need to do at least some of the work! - but it’s honestly shockingly good if you have a solid, high quality image to work with, and I’ve made some excellent embroidered patches off art using the auto feature with little to no tweaking on my ...

Wilcom, and DGML Pulse are the two programs/applications professional digitizers use. Wilcom is the most used because it’s $4k, the less costly option DGML sells for 9k). Another professional software is DesignShop by Melco, and i think they ...

inkstitch extension for Inkscape is probably the only truly free full featured Software product for embroidery works.

There's a bit of a learning curve (as i imagine there is with every program) but I'm very satisfied so far (I've had it maybe 3 years now?) & can resize files, change file type, and create my own embroideries from scratch, or create an image in illustrator etc & port it over.

John Deer Legacy has the Design Doodler that you can draw your designs for embroidery with. I have not used it but watched a few videos about it. ... There is no "trace and convert" unless you want a mess. Even on good software like Hatch, autodigitize is dicey. Your drawing needs stitch i...

I know some folks will design their images in procreate on iPad with their Apple Pencils, and either trace directly onto the hoop with heat erasable pens or print out designs on fabri-solvy.

What most hand embroidery artists use is procreate app and an IPad. You can get her the paid/premium version but I think this works best if she's artsy or can draw even if it's a little; Canva app works too You can try the free versions first and see if it's something she can work wit...

Wilcom e.4.5 designing, expensive but worth it imo. ... Isn’t Hatch $1k that can be paid at $99/mo? I use Embrilliance but I’m a beginner to embroid...

I really appreciate the feedback 🥲❤️ we’ve worked hard on it. Still has a ways to go but just happy you’re enjoying it ... Were all these examples made in ember? Definitely going to check it out tonight as I currently use inkstitch to digitize and I want to see how it compares. This is some pretty ...

I recommend you install the (free) Ink/Stitch extension for (free) Inkscape and get to grips with the software and your machine first. ... Yo I don’t know if you mean that you are new to embroidery in general but I would suggest you to learn how to embroider first and then mess with the designing pa...

The biggest problem I have with hatch is sometimes if I make an illegal action or something it can't read it freezes and closes the app. It's annoying but usually saves the design once loaded back up. ... Has anyone tried hatch, pe design and embriliance for importing complex vektor artwor...

The dot customizer app and stitch buddy are the only two that I know of and I don’t think either of them offer any true digitizing functionality. ...

Embird is what I currently use. It's not as good as Hatch but better than InkStitch. It's a dedicated embroidery software so it's more intuitive and easier to use but it has less features than Hatch and is a little clunky and outdated looking.

Low Tech Linux was my favorite. ... Yes, very informative, almost like a full blow...

If you're really looking to build a business, more than just selling on Etsy, I guess Floriani would be worth it though. Their stabilizers are also really good, but expensive. I use them sometimes, depending on the project. ... I use EmbroideryWare, it's cheap (~120$), it has lots of bugs ...

Judging that you blew your budget on a $400 machine, Inkstitch might be worth revisiting. I've been using it for the last 5 or so yrs. and there is quite a learning curve. But overall if you can get started with it, you'll find it far from perfect but quite capable.....and free. ... I know...

I have a Janome MemoryCraft500 embroidery machine and I've been looking for good inexpensive software for a while now. I downloaded the trial version of Hatch Digitizer and i really love it, it has all the options i need (except manual cross-stitch digitising which has it's own addont).
r/Machine_Embroidery
Floriani is a much better option, and less expensive. If you dont want to spend money on a top of the line commercial embroidery machine such as Tajima,ZSK, or Barudan, and are looking to buy a Chinese made instead then get a BAI.
