Features

Not just another auto-trace tool

Real embroidery files with proper stitch algorithms — not traced vectors pretending to be digitizing.

01

AI Design Analysis

AI analyses your image and recommends stitch types, angles, and thread colours per region. No other online digitizer does this.

02

Tatami Fill Stitch

Offset row pattern for professional coverage. Configurable density from 2 to 8 lines per millimetre.

03

Pull Compensation

Automatic overshoot so fill areas don't shrink when thread pulls fabric. Adjustable from 0 to 1mm.

04

Thread Colour Matching

Every colour matched to a real Madeira Rayon thread number. Your customer knows exactly which spool to buy.

05

Stitch Simulation

Watch your design stitch out in real time, colour by colour, before downloading.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about AI embroidery digitizing.

Yes. StitchFast generates proper binary embroidery files using pyembroidery. DST works on virtually every commercial machine. PES works on Brother and Babylock. JEF works on Janome and Elna. Max stitch lengths and colour changes are handled correctly.

Clean logos, text, and artwork with solid colours produce the best results. PNG files with transparent backgrounds give the cleanest output. Complex photographs with gradients will work but may require higher colour counts.

When you upload an image, AI analyses the design and identifies distinct regions, suggests the best stitch type for each area, recommends thread colours, optimal stitch angles, and pull compensation values. This happens automatically before you digitize.

When a machine stitches a fill area, thread tension pulls the fabric inward slightly. Pull compensation automatically overshoots the edges by a small amount to counteract this. Most cheap digitizers skip this step entirely.

Yes, cancel anytime from your dashboard. No fees. Access continues until the end of your billing period.

Wilcom and Hatch are professional desktop software costing hundreds or thousands of pounds. StitchFast handles the majority of common digitizing jobs instantly at a fraction of the cost. For logos, text, and standard artwork — StitchFast is faster, cheaper, and easier.
