Hello hoop, meet Multi-Hoop. Designs bigger than your frame, BX fonts in and out, and a player that shows what your machine really does. Drawing stays free.
HELLO WORLD. HELLO HOOP.
Your idea. Your Apple Pencil. Your embroidery.
What you draw becomes stitches. Doodle away, design letters, fill shapes with patterns or work your way down to the single stitch. StitchPencil brings together free drawing and everything a clean embroidery file needs. Quick to start, with plenty of room for your ideas.
DRAW IT. STITCH IT.
• Running stitch, triple stitch, satin and tatami, freehand or point by point
• Satin like a brush: press harder for a wider stroke
• Draw shapes, edit nodes, cut, combine and switch stitch types at any time
• Bean zigzag, feathered edges and ready-made shapes for ideas that go beyond straight lines
PATTERNS WITH EXTRA WOW
• Ten traditional sashiko patterns
• Color blends, carved patterns and decorative satin borders
• 3D puff, appliqué and trapunto, with the right stops and placement lines
CROSS STITCH: THE CLASSIC, FRESHLY PAINTED
• Paint crosses right onto the grid, no counting squares
• In as many colors as you like
• Classic Cross look or bold Pixel blocks
• Lay a picture underneath and paint over it
• Turn a link into a QR code ready to stitch
LETTERS WITH SOME THREAD
• Hand-digitized fonts for satin, running stitch and fills
• Text on curves or along your own lines
• Design your own embroidery fonts in Font Studio, one letter at a time
• Bring in your BX fonts, and write your own in Font Studio
LOOK FIRST. THEN HOOP.
• See your threads and the real stitch texture in the preview
• Watch your design come to life stitch by stitch in the stitch player
• Keep layers, stitch order and color changes in view
• Spot possible trouble before needle meets fabric
TOO BIG FOR YOUR HOOP? HOOP TWICE.
• Lay your hoop on the design and split it where you want
• One file per hooping, numbered and ready for your machine
• Alignment marks and a step-by-step rehoop guide put the fabric back exactly
• Worksheet pages in actual size, tiled across sheets if needed
FROM YOUR IDEA TO YOUR MACHINE
• Import SVG artwork and existing embroidery files
• Export to PES, DST, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX and TAP
• Thread catalogs from Madeira, Sulky, Isacord and more, plus your own thread cabinet
• Set your own hoop sizes
• Send designs over Bluetooth to the StitchPencil stick in your machine's USB port
• Export worksheets as PDF or print them
BEING CREATIVE IS FREE. EXPORTING IS A ONE-TIME THING.
Drawing, editing and importing are free, with no time limit. When your design is ready for the machine, unlock export with a one-time purchase. No subscription, no recurring costs, and your designs stay on your iPad.

MULTI-HOOP
Your design is bigger than your hoop? Lay the hoop on it, split where you like, and export one numbered file per hooping. Alignment marks and a rehoop guide bring the fabric back exactly where it belongs.
BX FONTS, IN AND OUT
Import your Embrilliance BX fonts: one file, a ZIP or a whole folder, every letter and baseline straight from the file. And Font Studio now writes BX, so a font you design in StitchPencil works in Embrilliance too. One thing to know: StitchPencil computes the stitches itself, so a font will not look pixel-for-pixel like it does elsewhere. Stitch a sample first, as always.
THE PLAYER SHOWS EVERYTHING THE MACHINE DOES
Jumps, trims, color changes and stops now appear on the canvas and as marks on the scrubber. Play only the objects you selected.
ALSO NEW
• Sketch layer: draw ahead on the canvas with pencil, marker and eraser, never stitched
• Redwork: every line exactly twice, no jumps, no trims
• Feathered satin edges and bean zigzag for fur, grass and braided columns
• Carving across a whole group, nine new seamless patterns, repeat in one row
• Fonts with several colors keep their threads
• Appliqué, foam and trapunto fonts in Font Studio
• Worksheet in actual size, tiled across sheets
• Nodes snap level with their neighbors
• Stitch files land in an open design as stitches
• A machine stop can say what to do
SHARPER WHERE IT COUNTS
• Satin corners: sharp turns and hairpins are sewn as clean, compact tips
• Carving follows your stroke instantly and travels with the fill when you move or scale it
• VP3 files now land exactly where you placed them on Singer and Husqvarna machines and in CREATIVATE
• Font check reports only what will really show on fabric
• Many small refinements across the editor, layers and export
