Since 1997
If you are interested in machine embroidery and are looking for an affordable application that will help you digitize new embroidery designs and organize, convert and customize existing ones, Embird is the solution you need.
Try our design splitting tools, quilt fills, embroidery lettering from ttf and otf fonts or our ultra realistic photo-into-embroidery conversion module Sfumato Stitch. Of course, Embird has also a digitizer module with palette of digitizing instruments from precise node-by-node digitizing up to automatic tracing.
Whether it's your primary embroidery software or a supplemental tool, Embird is a versatile software for everyday embroidery work. It is independent of any particular embroidery machine and designed for all embroiderers and digitizers, whether professionals or hobbyists..
Interconnect your machine embroidery realms with Embird's support for more than 70 embroidery file formats, compatible with both home and industrial embroidery machine brands. Embird also allows the import and conversion of SVG and other vector graphic files, bridging your graphic programs and the world of machine embroidery.
User interface in all Embird modules and the User Guide manual in the Studio Next program is available in following languages. Text in languages other than English is machine-translated from English.
Digitizing in Studio NEXT is now possible also with advanced cubic Bézier splines, which means faster digitizing.
Line segment (left) is defined by 2 points. A simple curve (center). A Bézier curve (right).
New Create Smart Connection to Previous Object command added to main menu > Build and to some pop-up menus. This command connects disjoint objects with a complex, optimized connection path. The connection starts at the closest points of the objects and then continues hidden beneath the object for which it was created. The path adapts to the shape of the object, even if the object has openings. This command allows for faster digitizing by reducing the time it takes to create connections.
Maximum number of shades in each Sfumato object was increased from 5 to 9. This allows for smoother color blending in large photo-realfistic Sfumato objects.
New shades are inserted between the previous ones. They are disabled by default, but can be easily enabled by clicking on the corresponding checkboxes.
Basic shapes are now available also without entering the node editing mode. The new Shapes tool is located in the vertical toolbar on the main screen of Studio Next.
Vertical Toolbox.
The Shapes tool has an expander button, meaning it allows you to select an option from a pop-up panel. Options indicate the type of embroidery object to which the shape will be converted.
Basic shapes can be used in two working modes of the Studio:
Shapes drawn in this mode are automatically converted to embroidery objects, such as a plain fill, mesh, outline, or column. That is why they are called ready-to-use shapes.
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.
