Level 3 is the choice of custom digitizers, stock design sellers, font-creators, designers, and embroidery professionals.
With configurable drawing tools and utilities that let you import and rework vector shapes, automatically outline existing stitches, create contours, trace line art with a click, branch objects of any stitch type, convert object-based fonts into editable shapes as well as creative options for custom motifs, carving lines, and even custom object-based fonts, StitchArtist Level 3 unlocks your potential at every step of the creation process. Level 2 lets you create anything; Level 3 lets you create anything faster, with more creative treatments, and publish it all for the embroidery world simply.
Typical Level 3 Projects include: detailed and/or complex designs, commercial logos, vector import, redesign, and editing for embroidery, creating designs and templates for published stock collections, publishing designs to multiple stitch file formats as well as to installable libraries for Embrilliance, creating custom fonts or font extensions for commercial clients and/or for publication in the BX format for distribution and/or sale to the Embrilliance community, multimedia designs including SVG vector cut files, and almost anything else you can imagine.

StitchArtist is a program to create machine embroidery designs from scratch.
Draw, use the built-in shapes, import vector/cutting files so you can manually edit and use graphical operators to adapt the vector shapes for embroidery, or bring in a picture (such as .jpg), then ‘draw with stitches’ over the artwork, using it as a guide.
You control the shapes, sizes, set the stitching properties, assign stitch angles by adding inclination lines, and StitchArtist generates the actual stitches.
Those familiar with vector drawing will feel very comfortable with StitchArtist, but the easy ‘draw with points’ spline tool makes creating shapes easy to learn for everyone.
When assigning stitches to shapes, you have freedom to change your mind at any time. You can assign any shape a new stitch type easily.
Creating designs often requires the ability to edit shapes. StitchArtist has features that make object creation and editing easy:
- Stitch generation is instant and automatic.
- No mode changes for selection, editing, coloring, moving, sizing, rotating or adjusting properties.
- You can work in any number of display modes. You aren’t locked to a specific mode during any process.
- Hundreds of editable vector shapes are included. Simple geometric shapes are easily created and altered with the automated shape tool.
- Perfect curves are 3 clicks away with the 3 point arc tool.
- Users unfamiliar with Bezier curves can use a simulated spline system that’s easier to learn and teach; helpful especially in early instruction.
- Import and Export in common vector forms such as .svg and cutter file formats like .studio or .fcm.
- Quick styles and Stylesheets accelerate the workflow by giving you fast access to common properties for stitch objects and allowing you to publish these properties for installation on any StitchArtist system.

StitchArtist is embroidery design-creation software. It is easy-to-use and designed for everyone: New embroiderers, artists, graphics professionals, and seasoned apparel decorators. This is accomplished with product levels. As the level goes up, additional tools and control are added. Created with education in mind, StitchArtist’s level upgrades allow you to grow the software as you learn to take more control over your embroidery.
The process of design creation, commonly called ‘digitizing’, generally requires a skilled person using a specialized tool. StitchArtist is that tool, but created specifically to take the traditional difficulty out of the process so users can concentrate on design and creativity.
In a radical departure from the typical digitizing interface, StitchArtist uses a single mode to draw, set stitches, size, edit, rotate, sequence, and set properties of design objects. It is easy and intuitive. There is built-in help that replicates the printable .PDF manuals (download at any time), very active social communities, and of course, the award-winning Embrilliance support system.
Embrilliance creates tools that people love to use. We put you in control, and use automation only where appropriate. This is how the best designs are made.
Given the easy-to-use genius of StitchArtist, it’s easy to think it is an automated digitzing tool. It is not. StitchArtist is not a photo-to-stitch tool or an auto-digitizing program. Such things are sold but do not create nice embroidery. There is no such thing as ‘conversion’ from an image to an embroidery design. It takes a human being with an eye for stitch types, but no real artistic skill is required. Can you trace? Can you click your mouse or tap your pen? You have all the skill you need to start.
StitchArtist is part of the Embrilliance Platform, sharing one program with our other titles like Essentials and Enthusiast. This means that as you add titles, your features grow without having to switch between programs! Embrilliance products are modular: You do not “Need another program first.” You can use only StitchArtist. If you have other titles, they work together seamlessly to offer incredible ability in a single interface.
StitchArtist is a design creation tool, which means it does not manipulate existing designs. Our other products, like Essentials, handle those tasks. Whether you want to create or embellish designs for hobby, friends, sale or full professional use, StitchArtist is for you.
