Embird allows also import and conversion of SVG and other graphics vector files, which bridges your graphic programs and the world of machine embroidery.
We, authors of Embird, are digitizers ourselves. We build our software functionality on our own first-hand digitizing and customizing experience.
Computerized embroidery machines use special input files that instruct them how to sew out the embroidery on a fabric. These input files are digital stitch files, called embroidery designs. Creation of the embroidery design from artwork, photo or from imagination is called embroidery digitizing.
Utilize our tools for your creative embroidery designs digitizing, editing, customization, conversion, lettering and cross stitch. Scale and resize your designs, separate, edit, display, print and convert photos and other images into machine embroidery designs.
Training section of this site contains hundreds of text guides, digitizer advice and number of video tutorials about Embird software and also about machine embroidery in general. Moreover, we have a support team ready to answer your questions via e-mail.
