StitchArtist is a program you can use to create machine embroidery designs from scratch. Draw shapes and lines over your imported artwork, set stitch types to fill the shapes or follow the lines, and export for your embroidery machine! We call this ‘drawing with stitches.’ You create and control the shapes with easy drawing and editing tools, and StitchArtist generates stitches in and around them according to your selected settings. If you want to create simple stitched shapes and appliques, StitchArtist Level 1 is for you. Level 1 is designed for a hobby embroiderer who needs to be able to create stitches without excessive expense. Level 1 offers a limited set of stitch types and properties so that the user can simply ‘create’. Typical projects for Level 1 are simple applique designs, running stitch designs and simple filled shapes, backgrounds or adding elements to design compositions. Made for MacOS and Windows; requires full operating systems. StitchArtist does not run on iPad, Android, or other mobile platforms.
