View and edit your machine embroidery designs … wherever you are!
StitchBuddy shows embroideries in icon view and with previews on your Mac. You can convert embroidery files, and parts of a design can be flipped or rotated, moved or deleted. Multiple designs can be combined, thread colors changed, and you can even add simple shapes manually, from typed text, or SVG imports with their outlines or fills. Assign different hoops and thread charts, and print designs or their templates - as single files or by creating catalogs of multiple designs - fully automated.
StitchBuddy is available in two versions, running on Apple computers, iPhones and iPads and synching via iCloud Drive. Sharing the same core both feature sets are very similar, but with some differences: Be sure to check out the feature overview for more details.
