From raw artwork to machine-ready embroidery in seconds
What it does
Object-based intelligence — not bitmap conversion
Legacy auto-digitising maps pixels directly to stitches. StitchForge AI analyses your artwork geometrically, identifies distinct objects, and assigns the correct stitch type for each one: Satin for borders, Tatami Fill for large areas, Column Satin for curves, Running for fine detail.
The result is production-quality stitch data — actual coordinates and machine commands, not approximations. Open the exported file in your machine software and run it directly.
The old way
Import artwork → auto-trace pixels → manually assign stitch types → adjust density → fix underlay → correct pull compensation → export. Hours of work per design.
StitchForge AI
Import artwork → AI analyses geometry → assigns correct stitch type per object → generates stitch coordinates → export. Machine-ready in seconds.

Core capabilities
Production-quality output from a single import
GEOMETRY ANALYSIS
Reads shapes, not pixels
StitchForge AI traces the geometric boundaries of every element in your artwork before assigning a single stitch. Curves become Column Satin. Solid fills become Tatami. Fine lines become Running or Triple Running stitch. The right assignment, every time.
STITCH COORDINATES
Real stitch data, not approximations
Every exported file contains actual stitch coordinates and machine commands — the same data a professional digitiser would produce by hand. Open the file in your machine software and run it. No conversion step, no re-import, no cleanup.

LETTERING ENGINE
Embroidery-native text
Lettering is rendered as a dedicated stitch type with per-character pull compensation and underlay, not rasterised from a font. The result is crisp, stable text at any size — from small chest text at 6mm to large back designs.

Workflow

IMPORT
Drop in your artwork
PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, SVG, or PDF — StitchForge AI accepts the formats you already work with, including scanned artwork. No pre-processing or vectorisation required before import.
ANALYSE
AI reads the geometry
The engine traces each distinct element in your design — borders, fills, fine lines, text — identifying the geometric type of every object before any stitch assignment is made.
ASSIGN
Correct stitch type per object
Each detected object receives the stitch type that produces the best result on fabric. Satin for narrow borders, Tatami Fill for solid areas, Column Satin for curves, Running for outlines and fine detail, Lettering for text.
EXPORT
Machine-ready file in seconds
Export to DST, PES, JEF, or EXP. The output file contains actual stitch coordinates and machine commands. Load it directly into your embroidery machine software and run.
What you get
Full format coverage. Every stitch type.
