01Digitize

A draft, not a black box.

“Generate draft” proposes a stitch type and direction for every region, with a confidence score. It all stays a proposal: undone in one step, every object editable on its own.

  • Run, fill (tatami) and satin columns
  • Stitch angle, entry and exit points, density right on the object
  • Prepare artwork: size, cleanup, colour reduction, background removal
  • Click into the artwork to create an object
  • Lettering tool with straight and arc text

02Check

Check before you sew.

A density heatmap, pins right on the issue and a guard for too-small text show what wouldn't hold on fabric. The sewing simulator plays the file stitch by stitch.

  • Density heatmap and issue pins
  • Sewing simulator
  • Optimised sewing order with a savings preview
  • Garment and fabric presets with explanations

03Produce

Ready for the machine.

The produce screen bundles what comes after digitizing: proof and quote for the customer, a worksheet PDF, export to the machine's USB stick.

  • “Make cap version” and several placements in one design
  • Machine profiles and needle loadout
  • Thread charts: match colours, flag the threads you own
  • Open, edit and batch-convert stitch files

Questions

When can I buy Stitchtide?

Stitchtide is in testing. Write to us if you'd like to be among the first shops to use it.

Does Stitchtide phone home?

No. There is no telemetry. Crash reports stay on your computer until you choose to send them.

Be early.

We're looking for embroidery shops to try Stitchtide in daily work before launch.
