DumbStitchOpen DumbStitchFree embroidery digitizing, right in your browser
DumbStitch turns a picture or your own words into a file your embroidery machine can stitch. It's free and it runs in your web browser. There's nothing to install and no account to make.
What it does
- Auto digitizing for pictures. Add a logo or simple drawing and DumbStitch picks the thread colors and lays out fill, satin and running stitches for you.
- Lettering. Type a name or message and pick from 31 hand-digitized embroidery fonts plus a set of everyday fonts.
- Sized to your hoop. Choose what you're stitching on (left chest, full front, hoodie, tote bag) and your hoop, from 4×4 in up to 9.5×14 in, round hoops and Mighty Hoops.
- Watch it stitch. See the design stitched out on screen, with stitch count, time and thread changes, before you waste any fabric.
- Every major file type. Save as .PES (Brother, Baby Lock), .JEF (Janome), .EXP (Bernina) or .DST (multi-needle and most other machines).
Private by design
Your pictures and words never leave your device. All the digitizing happens inside your browser.
Is it as good as paid digitizing software?
For names, monograms, simple logos and clip art, DumbStitch gets you a clean file in a minute or two. Big professional programs give you control over every single stitch. DumbStitch is built for people who want the file without learning digitizing.
