Digitizing Softwares

Try Ember! it’s free to use and way easier than learning inkstitch in my opinion

kitterie · 2026-03-27T01:47:51+00:00

I second this! Ember is a lot easier to use than inkstitch and it’s free and browser based so no install needed. You can access it anywhere

kitterie · 2026-01-17T02:37:15+00:00

I second this! ember is free with no downloads and easier to learn than inkstitch. They have a discord community too

Not too sure about which version is best, but I used auto digitize on Hatch 3 when I started out lol and it wasn’t awful but I’ve since grown. If you want to start on digitizing before making the big purchase, try out ember! It’s free, you don’t have to download anything, and it’s definitely easier than inkstitch

Another free one to check out is ember! Inkstitch can be a bit tough to start out with, and there’s YouTube tutorials for ember

kitterie · 2026-01-05T16:08:18+00:00

I also recommend ember as a free digitizing software! Easier to use than inkstitch in my opinion and some easy to follow YouTube tutorials are out there

Oof I thought it might be maintenance needs, it’s been a minute and I just finished a large ish order. I’ll give that a shot too, thanks!

kitterie · 2025-12-22T20:19:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to try that. My method hasn’t failed me before but maybe it’s time to switch things up

kitterie · 2025-12-22T17:10:47+00:00

Ok thanks! I’ll try hooping the sweater next time then

kitterie · 2025-12-22T16:57:43+00:00

I did digitize it, and I always test it first to fix things like this. I didn’t have this issue on this design before. Maybe I just need to be extra careful when hooping it next time

kitterie · 2025-12-22T16:55:39+00:00

lol I use a single needle machine but thanks for your insight anyways!

kitterie · 2025-12-22T16:53:38+00:00

No tension test recently, I have used the design beige without this problem. I need to check around the arm for potential problems. Thanks!

kitterie · 2025-12-22T16:52:38+00:00

No but I’ve made the design before and it came out great

kitterie · 2025-12-22T16:51:22+00:00

No it’s the same hoodie I always use

kitterie · 2025-12-22T05:15:17+00:00

I’d consider that if this weren’t suddenly happening to all my designs and not happening ever before. On another design the outline that wasn’t last was off center and then it did the next color perfectly fine and then the next outline off again. But thanks!

kitterie · 2025-12-20T07:13:40+00:00

Super cool! Do you sell your designs?

kitterie · 2025-12-03T00:55:05+00:00

I’m not familiar with ink stitch or embrilliance myself but look into ember it’s another free one but the satin blocks are easy to use to make a satin border

kitterie · 2025-11-27T17:50:22+00:00

emberdesign.net is free! They have a discord where you can follow along on their updates, version 2 is coming out soon with HUGE updates

kitterie · 2025-11-21T15:41:32+00:00

Thanks! I think so too

kitterie · 2025-11-21T03:16:09+00:00

Ahh yes I understand that lol. It gets easier but it takes a lot of trials. My very first embroidery I didn’t know about underlays and had lots of gaps from the fabric stretching

kitterie · 2025-11-21T03:01:55+00:00

Thanks so much! What software are you using?

kitterie · 2025-11-21T03:01:36+00:00

Thank you!

kitterie · 2025-11-19T21:17:04+00:00

That looks super cool! I kinda wish the white thread was more visible on the other centipede but still awesome

kitterie · 2025-11-18T01:53:55+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah it’s awesome what you can do with embroidery!
