Superior stitch quality, true vector digitizing
DG16 is a true vector application for embroidery: digitize artwork with precision, switch stitch types without re-digitizing (you're no longer locked into one conversion), and let the engine intelligently place stitches around void areas, preserving holes for flawless embroidery. Choose from over 40 standard, 165+ programmed and 170+ carved fill patterns — or build your own with the Carved Fill Pattern Editor — and add gradients, textures and special stitching effects, including chenille and sequin for multi-decoration work.
Lettering is where DG16 shines: 180+ closest-point connected fonts including specialty fonts as small as 3 mm, baselines straight, curved, vertical, arc or circle, beautiful 3-letter monograms with decorations and frames, plus word collages fitted inside any outline. Auto-digitizing converts simple artwork into embroidery instantly (great for quoting stitch counts), automatic trims and lock stitches speed up production, and designs preview directly on garments and fabrics. With PulseCloud, your designs and threads follow you on any device, while machine monitoring and production reports keep your shop under control.

No. The DG16 download and activation files are sent by email only. You receive everything directly in your inbox after the order is confirmed — no postal shipment, no dongle, no physical item.
How long does it take to receive my software?
Usually within a few minutes after order confirmation. If there is a delay, please check your spam folder.

No. Tajima DG16 by Pulse is a 64-bit application that runs exclusively on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). It is not compatible with macOS, Linux or 32-bit systems.
Does DG16 only work with Tajima embroidery machines?

Yes. The auto-digitizing tools convert simple artwork into digitized embroidery automatically — ideal for quick stitch-count estimates when quoting — and the vector tools then give you full manual control to refine every segment.
