Open design files

You don’t need experience to start using your embroidery software. You can simply open a design and send it to your machine for ‘stitchout’. Alternatively, you may want to combine designs or add lettering to existing designs. Once you are used to the steps involved in sewing out designs – either included samples or ones you have purchased – you will soon want to make global design modifications such as resizing, or changing thread colors and fabric types. As you gain in confidence, you will want to create your own designs from scratch.

By default Hatch Embroidery saves designs to its native ‘all-in-one’ EMB file format. This contains all information necessary for stitchout and for later modification. Hatch Embroidery opens and saves many other embroidery file formats. See also Embroidery files.
