Professional results from the comfort of your home
Whether you are new to machine embroidery or very experienced, Hatch Embroidery 2 has all the creative tools you need — easy to use, with professional quality results. The robust auto-digitizing converts any image into a high-quality embroidery design quickly, the PhotoStitch feature turns photographs into stitchable artwork, and the lettering and monogramming tools personalize gifts, garments and home décor in minutes.
What sets Hatch apart is the intelligence under the hood: the Fabric Assist tool automatically adjusts stitch settings for fabrics like denim or silk, saving time while guaranteeing clean results, and the realistic stitch simulation lets you preview the sew-out on screen before a single thread is used. Organize your design library with the built-in embroidery organizer, refine every element with powerful editing tools, and send designs to nearly all USB-enabled embroidery machines in their native format.
