Because you’re one of my customers, I wanted you to be among the first to see this. You’ve trusted me with your embroidery — so this is my thank-you. — Lorna

Embroidery design software · Mac & Windows

The embroidery studio you own.

I built Unzip2Stitch to do what I always wished one app could: find and organize your whole design library, then actually create with it — add lettering, build monograms, combine and edit designs, lay out your hoop, and save to every machine format. One app you own. No subscription, ever.

Introductory pricing — normally $249. One-time purchase. Mac (Apple Silicon, macOS 11+) · Windows 10 & 11. And yes — it opens those ZIP files for you.

What you can do

Find it. Create it. Stitch it.

From the design you already own to the file your machine reads — all in one place.

Your whole library, found

Search and organize every design you own by picture, category, hoop and more.

Letter & monogram

Type names and words with supported stitch-file alphabets, such as PES or JEF, and build monograms. BX files can be cataloged, but cannot be used for typing.

Edit for real

Resize, rotate, recolor and adjust density, then arrange it inside your hoop.

Every machine format

Save to PES, DST, JEF and the rest — the format your machine reads.

Get Unzip2Stitch Creator

Want to try it first? Start free.

The free edition organizes your supported stitch-file alphabets and lets you type names and words with their individual letter files, such as PES or JEF. BX files can be cataloged only; Unzip2Stitch cannot use BX files for typing, previewing, or stitching. If your alphabet purchase includes a supported stitch-file copy, use that copy for lettering. Free to use.

And if you’d rather I just digitize it for you the old-fashioned way — I’m still right here, same as always.
