Features
More control, less worry
Editing a design is simple! Open your design and, using the Reshape or Stitch Edit tool, modify shapes or change stitch settings and effects options. Even stitch files such as DST are recognized as objects, giving you full, object based control and eliminating the need for stitch-by-stitch editing.
Drag ‘n drop color resequencing
Wilcom’s Color-Object List makes sequencing your design as easy as drag ‘n drop. Select objects by color or stitch type to change their properties or resequence your design. You can also group, hide or lock individual objects for improved editing.
Smart Corners
Don’t like the way the digitizer has handled corners in the design? The Smart Corners feature reduces the number of stitches and the risk of bunched, distorted embroidery in sharp corners.
Professional embroidery lettering
Adding custom lettering to existing designs is simple and with over 150 professionally crafted embroidery alphabets, TrueType conversion, monograms and type layouts, you will never run out of creative possibilities.
Save time and money with fast, quality stitch results
Optimize your production with full control of underlay, pull compensation, connectors, tie ins/offs, trims, jump and stop machine functions. You can even edit individual stitches to address any problem areas.
Speed up customer approvals and production
A picture is worth a thousand words. Communicate clearly to your customers and production staff by visualizing designs on the finished garment and within the required embroidery hoop. Professional branded approval PDFs and production worksheets contain all the important information you need to convey.
