## What is StitchKit?

StitchKit is the complete embroidery design studio for iPad, iPhone and Mac. Open any machine embroidery file, edit it stitch-by-stitch, add lettering and monograms, turn photos and SVGs into beautiful stitches, then save back to your machine's format. Built for hobbyists, small-shop digitizers and pros.

— OPEN ANY FORMAT —
Read and write the formats your machine actually uses: PES, DST, JEF, JEF+, VP3, EXP, HUS, XXX, PCS, SEW, VIP. Drag and drop to open. Merge multiple designs into one hoop. On Mac, get instant Finder previews via Quick Look.

— LETTERING & MONOGRAMS —
Type any word, pick a font, get clean machine-ready stitches. Choose satin, tatami fill or outline. Bold and italic. BX fonts and AlphaTricks alphabet libraries supported — drop your alphabet files and StitchKit assembles full words automatically. Three monogram styles: Diamond, Stacked, Single.

— PHOTO & VECTOR TO STITCH —
Turn any photo into a stitch design. Pick how many colors, smooth gradients with dithering, set the target size. Import SVG and apply per-path fill modes (tatami, satin, outline). Combine paths with Union, Intersect, Difference and Flatten. Magic Wand converts any PNG or JPG into clean color regions you can stitch.

— PRO DIGITIZING TOOLS —
Bezier path digitizing with running outline, tatami, satin and motif modes. Custom motifs library — define your own repeating patterns. Density repair to thin out heavy designs. Automatic underlay (zigzag, mesh or edge). Pull compensation for clean satin. Color sort to minimize trims. Cleanup zero-length stitches and short jumps in one tap.

— APPLIQUE & SPECIAL EFFECTS —
Build full 3-layer applique (placement / tackdown / cover) in one dialog. Add eyelets, fringe and 3D foam outlines. Layout designs in grids, carousels or scattered patterns.

— PER-STITCH EDITING —
Select stitches by block, bounding box, color, rectangle, lasso or paintbrush. Move, duplicate, extract or delete the selection. Move individual needle points. Unlimited undo and redo.

— THREAD & COLOR MANAGEMENT —
Built-in thread catalogs for Madeira, Isacord, Robison-Anton and Mettler. Match a whole palette to a brand in one click. Per-block color swap. Flag blocks as applique with a tap.

— HOOP MANAGEMENT —
Built-in hoop sizes plus unlimited custom hoops. Align designs to the hoop with one tap. Hoop Split automatically generates a multi-hooping plan for designs bigger than your hoop, with one saveable file per section.

— PRINT, CUT & EXPORT —
Print PNG or PDF templates with alignment marks, ruler and thread legend for hand-trace work. Export applique cut files as SVG or PLT for your Cricut, Silhouette or vinyl plotter, with optional kerf compensation.

— BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU WORK —
Native app on iPad, iPhone and Mac. Apple Silicon ready. Skia renderer with realistic 3D thread preview. Recent files, custom hoops and motifs persist across sessions. Works with designs for Brother, Janome, Husqvarna Viking, Pfaff, Bernina, Singer and Melco machines.
