Many configuration options

Set your hoop size – our app will automatically split the image into multiple tiles if necessary. Or, with just one click, you can rotate a landscape image by 90° to make it fit better in the hoop.

Colors

Any color palette can be used, e.g., Madeira Rayon Machine (140 colors), etc.

Along with the machine embroidery file, a color substitution table is also created. It lists the thread colors in the order they need to be threaded into the machine, exactly as the machine requests them. This ensures that the actual thread colors of your original image are listed according to your chosen palette.
