Unzip2Stitch — for embroidery sellers
Keep Your Etsy Embroidery Orders Straight — With Your Files, Not a Spreadsheet
It starts fun. Then the orders pick up, and suddenly it’s a spreadsheet here, a Downloads folder there, and a sticky note with a due date you really hope you don’t lose. There’s a calmer way to run it — and it lives right next to your design files.
Two kinds of Etsy embroidery seller. Same headache.
You sell the designs
Digitizers and design shops: you need to keep every order straight and get the right file to the right buyer, every time — without digging through folders.
You sell the products
Shirts, hats, towels, bags: you need to know which order needs which design, the placement, the thread and the due date — all in one spot.
Different shops, same problem: keeping orders straight when they’re tangled up with files. A spreadsheet can’t hold your designs, and your folders can’t hold your orders. So things slip.
First things first — make what sells. Before you stitch another thing, it pays to know what Etsy buyers are actually after. We break down how to figure that out (and the research tools that make it easy) in What Should I Sell on Etsy? — then come back here to keep the orders flowing.
What if your orders lived with your files?
That’s what the Orders tool in Unzip2Stitch does — your designs and your orders in one place, so nothing drifts off into a folder you’ll never find again.
- Log an order and link it to the actual design file — plus the customer or personalization, quantity, due date, and notes (thread colors, placement, anything the stitcher needs).
- See it two ways — a Board of what’s in progress, or a Calendar of what’s due.
- Bring your Etsy orders in all at once — download your Etsy orders file and import it, so each order comes in ready to track. No retyping.
Why it beats a spreadsheet
- Your files and your orders are together — open an order, see its design.
- Nothing gets lost between “sold” and “stitched.”
- Your whole Etsy order list comes in with one import, not one row at a time.
- It’s built for embroidery, by an embroiderer — a helper, not one more thing to wrestle with.

Common questions
- Can I import my Etsy orders?
- Yes — download your Etsy orders file and import it, and each order comes in ready to track, so you’re not retyping a thing.
- Can I tie an order to the design file I’ll stitch?
- Yes. Link each order to its design, and add the customer, quantity, due date and any notes — thread colors, placement, whatever the stitcher needs.
- I sell finished products, not design files. Is this still for me?
- Yes. Log each order and link the design you’ll stitch — shirts, hats and bags included. It keeps the order, the file and the details together.
- Is it a subscription?
- No. Unzip2Stitch is a one‑time purchase — the order tracking comes with the Studio.
