1. Hatch Embroidery 2
Hatch Embroidery 2 is the premier embroidery software for craft and hobby enthusiasts, powered by Wilcom's world-leading stitch engine. Whether you are new to machine embroidery or experienced, it has all the creative tools you need with professional quality results: robust auto-digitizing turns any image into a high-quality design, PhotoStitch converts photographs into stitchable artwork, and the lettering and monogramming tools personalize gifts, garments and home décor in minutes. The intelligent Fabric Assist automatically adjusts stitch settings for fabrics like denim or silk, while realistic stitch simulation previews the sew-out before a single thread is used.
