Features
Everything between “cute idea” and “it's stitching.”
Open the app and get a result. Smart, fabric-aware defaults do the technical work. You make the creative calls.
Type it. It sews.
Add names and phrases with real embroidery fonts. Adjust size, spacing, slant, and color. The lettering stays live and editable until you say otherwise.
Trace your artwork
Place a PNG or JPG behind the hoop, dim it, and draw embroidery paths over the parts that matter. You choose the construction; the stitches follow.
Three honest stitch styles
Fine Line for delicate outlines, Satin Line for bold raised strokes, Filled for solid shapes. Click an object, pick a look, done.
Personalize purchased designs
Open a PES, DST, or other machine file you already bought. Recolor it, drop a color block, add a name underneath, and export the combination.
Fabric-smart defaults
Pick cotton, knit, terry, fleece, denim, linen, or leather. Density, underlay, and pull compensation retune automatically. Resize and stitches regenerate instead of stretching.
Preview before you sew
Watch the design play back in the stitch simulator. Check sew order, color changes, jumps, and trims before a single inch of thread is spent.
Use alphabets you bought
Import a folder of purchased machine-letter files (A.pes, B.dst…) once, then type with that alphabet like any other font.
Browse your collection
The Design Library shows thumbnails, formats, and stitch counts for a whole folder. Find the right design without opening files one by one.
Convert between formats
Turn a DST into a PES, a VP3 into a JEF. Stitches, color changes, jumps, and trims carry over within the limits of the destination format.
How it works
From artwork to machine file in five steps
-
1
Start a design
Open a blank hoop, place a reference image, or open a machine file you already have. Choose your hoop and fabric. The defaults tune themselves.
-
2
Draw, trace, or type
Place shapes and paths, trace over your dimmed artwork, or type a name with an embroidery font. Everything stays editable.
-
3
Choose how it stitches
Fine Line, Satin Line, or Filled: one click per object. Change your mind and the stitches regenerate; you're never editing needle points by hand.
-
4
Preview the sew-out
Run the simulator. See the real stitch plan, the sew order, and where the color changes happen, all before thread meets fabric.
-
5
Export for your machine
Save your editable project, then export PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, or XXX. Transfer it to your machine just like any design you've purchased.

Who it's for
Made for people who just want to embroider their ideas.
The home embroiderer
“I want to put a name on a towel for a gift.” Good defaults, understandable choices, and a file that fits your hoop, without wrestling complicated software.
The personalization seller
Names, monograms, team items, repeat orders. Reliable lettering, reusable fonts, fast recolors, consistent sizing, predictable export.
The small shop
Combine customer artwork, purchased designs, and lettering; check the sew sequence; deliver common machine formats, all without a commercial suite on every desk.
What Embroidery Breeze is not
We'd rather you know now:
- It doesn't turn photos or artwork into finished designs automatically. You trace the parts that matter and choose the construction.
- It doesn't promise one-click professional fonts from any TTF/OTF. The Font Maker workbench is guided, manual authoring.
- It isn't a stitch-by-stitch needle point editor, and it can't recover the original objects from a purchased machine file.
- It isn't a replacement for Hatch or Wilcom if you need 15-color photorealistic portraits.
If you're thinking “I just want to turn this little drawing into embroidery,” that's exactly what it's for.
Compatibility
Works with your computer. Works with your machine.
Runs on your computer
- macOS 10.15 Catalina or later, Apple Silicon and Intel
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Works fully offline once installed
- One purchase covers both platforms
Works with your embroidery machine
Open and export every format below. Transfer the file to your machine exactly like a design you bought online.
| Format | Common machines |
|---|---|
| PES | Brother, Baby Lock, Bernina Deco |
| JEF | Janome, Elna, Kenmore |
| VP3 | Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking |
| EXP | Bernina, Melco |
| XXX | Singer, Compucon |

Also opens PEC stitch data inside PES files. BX fonts import via the individual machine-letter files included with the purchased alphabet.
Pricing
Buy it once. Use it when you need it.
Embroidery might be a year-round passion or a holiday-season hobby. Either way, you shouldn't keep paying for software during the months you're not using it.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Which embroidery machines does it work with?
Embroidery Breeze exports PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, and XXX, the formats used by Brother, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking, Singer, and most other home machines. Transfer the file to your machine exactly like a design you bought online.
Is it a subscription?
No. You buy Embroidery Breeze once and use it whenever you want. Future versions may add new tools, and upgrading is always optional.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Download the trial and try the real app on your own designs and your own machine before you buy.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Both. It's a native desktop app, and it works offline. No browser or internet connection needed once it's installed.
Will it automatically turn my photo into an embroidery design?
No, and we'd rather be upfront about that. Fully automatic digitizing produces unreliable results. Embroidery Breeze places your image behind the hoop so you can trace the parts that matter, then generates clean stitches from the paths you draw.
Can I use designs and alphabets I already bought?
Yes. Open purchased PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, or XXX designs to recolor, combine, and personalize them. Folders of individually named machine-letter files (A.pes, B.dst…) import as typeable alphabets.
You can do it yourself.
Your artwork. Your machine. Your design. Find it. Draw it. Trace it. Stitch it.
