Type it.
Then make it yours.
Find the right font, adjust the spacing, and shape the line. Preview your lettering before adding it to the canvas, then keep its recipe and individual glyphs editable.
EMBROIDERY, CONSIDERED.
From your first outline to the final needle movement. A native Mac studio for turning artwork into embroidery—with the tools to make every detail your own.

Follow a PNG monogram through the actual Mac app: trace and edit the design, preview its stitches, then export and reopen the DST file.
Trace a PNG, remove its background, and resize the design with proportions preserved.
Adjust fill settings and Bézier handles, then play the live stitch simulation.
Review dimensions and warnings, export the package, and reopen the DST to inspect its needle commands.
A PNG monogram is imported with its black background removed. The artwork becomes editable embroidery outlines, and the design width is changed from 4 inches to 2 inches with proportions preserved.
The fill angle is set to 45° and the cotton hoodie preset is applied. In the Bézier editor, an anchor is selected, smooth handles are created, and the change is applied. The stitch simulation then plays the sewing sequence, accelerated in this recording.
The export review displays dimensions measured from the encoded DST alongside machine warnings. A production package is saved, including the DST and editable project. The exported design.dst file is reopened in Studio, where its individual needle commands can be inspected.
This software demonstration is edited for pace. Test the exported design on your target machine before production.
Explore the actual app, from editable curves and satin rails to individual needle commands and the final export review. Select a view, then open it full size.
Move between designs in tabs or separate windows. Keep layers, dimensions, thread colors, and the sewing timeline close to the canvas.
Shape anchors and handles, switch between corner, smooth, and symmetric nodes, or enter precise coordinates. Your curves stay editable in the project.
Build satin sections with paired edge points. Adjust their shape, sequence, and direction while retaining the original letter outline—including branched strokes.
Document tabs, separate windows, keyboard shortcuts, and a command palette put the next action within reach.
Light, dark, or system appearance. Rulers, grids, snapping, source overlays, and flexible canvas views.
Source artwork, editable outlines, stitch settings, and retained needle edits live together in your project.
Trace and shape your artwork, engineer the stitches, then prepare a reviewed production handoff. Here’s what’s inside Studio today.
Your project is the place to keep creating. Your DST is the file for the machine. Studio keeps both parts of the process within reach.
Import an image, set lettering, or open an existing DST. Establish the design’s size and shapes.
Refine curves, stitch direction, underlay, and sequence. Review the needle path as you go.
Validate the DST and export a package that keeps the editable design and production details together.
Test on your fabric and stabilizer, record the result, and return to the saved project to refine it.
Studio currently exports Tajima DST. Keep the editable .stitchproject for future changes; DST stores needle movements. A physical sew-out is part of the process.
YOUR NEXT DESIGN STARTS HERE.
A focused workspace for the art and detail of embroidery.
