Beginners to seasoned embroiderers — everyone welcome

Embroidery software for Mac and Windows.
And hand digitizing when you need it.

Unzip2Stitch is the embroidery studio you own — find, organize, create and stitch, running natively on Mac and Windows. Not just an organizer, and never rented. And when you need artwork turned into stitches, I still hand-digitize it myself from $25.

Custom digitizing

Need a design digitized?

Send me your logo or artwork. I hand-digitize it into a clean, machine-ready embroidery file.

Caps & left chestSmall lettering that still reads, planned for curved seams and tight spaces.

Jacket backsBig coverage that stays soft, instead of a panel as stiff as cardboard.

3D puff & appliquéRaised foam letters and cut-fabric shapes, mapped out properly.

Twenty-five years in embroidery, print and promotions. Digitizing is not a filter you run over a picture. Every file is punched by hand, stitch by stitch, and it takes years to learn to do properly. See how it works →

And yes — if it does not stitch right, I fix it free.

Unzip2Stitch

Already have the designs?
Good. Let us actually use them.

You bought them. You downloaded them. Some are probably still zipped. Some you have not seen in years.

Unzip2Stitch turns all of it into a visual embroidery library — then gives you the tools to create with it.

Need something you do not already own? I will make it stitch.

Upload your logo, your artwork or your idea, and it comes back as a clean, machine-ready embroidery file — digitized by hand, because I have seen what auto-converted files do on a real garment.

Built by an embroiderer, just like you

Twenty-five years in promotional products — banners, signage, graphic design, print and embroidery — and eight years answering questions in a group of fifty thousand embroiderers.

The digitizing is done by hand. The software exists because I kept watching people hit the same walls and nobody was fixing them.
