Why is this software special?

Created by the world’s most awarded digitizer, perfected by embroiderers like you

Created by the world’s most awarded digitizer,
perfected by embroiderers like you

At 17, John Deer mastered embroidery digitizing under professional Schiffli masters. John would go on to earn 30 awards, teach 100,000+ embroiderers, and work with brands like Disney, Coca-Cola, and the NFL. But after decades of teaching, he kept seeing embroiderers struggle with clunky and complex digitizing software. He knew there had to be a better way, so he set out to create a simpler, frustration-free solution.

John envisioned a program built for embroiderers, by embroiderers, that was actually easy to use. For years, he obsessed over every detail, focusing on the biggest pain points in popular digitizing software. To ensure it met real-world needs, we launched early access to 1,000 embroiderers—selling out in just a week! Their feedback helped further shape the software into what it is today: the easiest way to digitize.

Unleash your creativity

The sky’s the limit with this next-generation embroidery software. You’ll be amazed by how easy it is to create beautiful designs!

Our clean, user-friendly layout prioritizes the tools you use most. It shows the 10% of the tools you’ll use 90% of the time, while others are easily accessible when needed, allowing you to have as much real estate as possible for creating designs.

Stay In Your Creative Flow Without Interruption

One User-Friendly Yet Powerful Digitizing Widget

This all-in-one artist’s tool houses all the essentials needed to create custom designs in one streamlined location, eliminating the need to click around and adjust properties constantly.

Create Satin & Fill Stitches With Ease

A New Simplified Way to Create Stitches

All-In-One Artwork Mode & Tools

Ready for a new way to create designs that is MUCH faster and easier for beginners?
