Every image on this page is a real stitch preview from the same engine that makes your production files. Click any image to see it full size.
Type text, pick an embroidery font, get a production-ready file.
Pick from a large catalogue of fonts digitized for embroidery — sans-serif, serif, script and display styles. Each one is stitched by the same engine that punches your production file, so the preview is the stitch, not a font mockup. Every font has its own supported size range, and the tool tells you when a height is out of range.
Choose any thread color for the lettering. The preview draws the stitches in that color, and the production sheet lists it for whoever loads the machine.
Size the design by letter height, which stays the same whatever you type, or by the full bounding-box height of the finished design when it has to fit a fixed space. Pick millimetres or inches.
Tighten or loosen the gap between every pair of letters. Negative values pull letters together for a compact look; positive values open them up for a wide, airy one.
Set the gap between words separately from the gap between letters, so a phrase can breathe without the letters inside each word drifting apart.
Stack two lines of text and align them left, center or right. Block and letter-spaced alignments stretch the lines to fill the design's full width. A line gap setting controls how far apart the lines sit.
Give each line its own height, its own letter and word spacing, and its own gap to the next line. A big surname over a small family line is one design, not two files.
Color each line separately. The design gets a color change between lines, and the production sheet shows the thread order.
Bend the text around a circle for caps, patches and badges. Choose the radius and where the first letter starts on the circle, and flip the letters upside-down to hang from the arc for text along the bottom of a badge or seal. A second line nests as a smaller ring inside.
Add a stitched satin border around the finished lettering: circle, oval, square or rectangle. Choose the padding around the text, the border width, how dense the satin is, and a separate border color.
Paste a list of names (up to 50) and get one design per name, all with the same font, size, color and layout, bundled into one purchase and one ZIP download. Built for team jerseys, class shirts and event lists.
Fabric letters with placement, tack-down and a satin border, plus a matching cut file.
Appliqué is sewn in the order a machine needs it: a placement line that marks where the fabric goes, a tack-down that holds it, then the satin border that covers the raw edge. Each stage is its own color block, so the machine pauses where you lay the fabric.
Appliqué letters come from real typographic fonts, traced into true vector outlines, so any font renders cleanly at any size from 2 inches up to 10. Block, script and heavy display styles all work.
Set how wide the satin border is, from a fine 1 mm edge to a bold 8 mm one. A separate tack-down width controls the hidden guide stitching under it.
Where a font draws a sharp point, such as the apex of an A, the tip of a V or the arms of a K, the border keeps that exact shape instead of rounding it off. The tip is stitched as its own solid patch. It is on by default, and can be switched off for a softer, rounder look.
Script and connected fonts have letters that overlap on purpose. Turn on merge and the overlapping letters are outlined as one shape, so the border doesn't run through the middle of a join. The tool suggests turning it on when you pick a script font.
Straight text, a circular arc, a varsity arch whose letters fan out along the curve, or an arch with straight sides, where only the top and bottom edges bend and every side stays upright. Arches can curve up or down, and you control how much.
Finish the edge with a dense satin cover, the classic solid appliqué border, or switch to a tackle-twill zigzag, a single zigzag pass in your chosen color with no separate satin stage.
Raise the satin border off the fabric with a layer of foam. The machine pauses between tack-down and satin so you can lay the foam, and the satin density and pull compensation are tuned for stitching over foam.
Every appliqué order includes an SVG cut file with the exact letter outline, counters included, for a laser cutter or cutting machine, so the fabric pieces match the stitching.
The features work together. These designs each combine several settings, all available in the tools.
Appliqué
A straight-sided arch, puffed satin and true sharp points: the classic raised team name across a jacket back.
Appliqué
Connected script letters merged into one clean outline, finished with a tackle-twill zigzag and bent along an arc.
Lettering
Two lines at different sizes and colors, centered, inside a colored oval border.
Lettering
Text bent around a circle, with extra letter spacing, inside a circular border.
Both
Big appliqué letters in a straight-sided arch with an embroidered lettering line beneath. The two tools make separate files that sit together on one garment.
