Hatch Embroidery Composer

Buying and customizing designs is a great place to start, but there is nothing quite like creating your very own unique embroidery designs quickly and easily. Composer brings you auto-digitizing, creating offset outlines, resizing, multi-hooping, powerful editing, endless layout options, sequencing tools, monogramming and of course lettering. When your design is ready, you can easily convert it to your machine format and stitch it out.

A few of the amazing features...

  • The Click-to-Stitch Auto-Digitizing is like child’s play. Take an existing artwork and create beautiful embroidery designs without the technical know-how. It is more powerful, yet simpler than ever before.
  • Everybody loves adding offsets to object shapes. Now you can select the type of corner as well as whether to include holes. Perfect for creating popular key fobs for your friends.
  • Multi-hooping in just 1 click! You can set multiple hoops, split the design into sewing fields and output the design to multiple files, each with just 1 click. Hoopings can now be viewed before you finish to save time and get the perfect result.
  • Resizing your designs is fast and accurate, but don’t forget the incredible object editing features. You can reshape objects, add/remove stitch angles, branch them to prevent unwanted jumps, and of course, break-apart combined objects or lettering. The knife tool now cuts both filled and outline design objects.
  • The Layout toolbox delivers endless design possibilities. You may want to simply define your work area and quickly layout your design block. Get more creative with 5 easy ways to mirror objects or your entire design. You can even take a single object and create a stunning Medallion effect in just a moment.
  • Sequencing is now more powerful as you can view objects and colors together. Changing the stitching order has turned a chore into a pleasure. You must experience this for yourself.

Hatch Embroidery Composer is really the all-in-one embroidery package for those who want to be highly creative without learning the art of digitizing.
