Ink/Stitch is a free, open-source machine embroidery design platform implemented as an Inkscape extension. It turns SVG vector artwork into embroidery stitch files (PES, DST, and many more), offering stitch types, lettering fonts, and path optimization tools for hobbyists and professional digitizers.
Use cases
- design machine embroidery patterns for free
- convert SVG artwork to PES or DST embroidery files
- digitize embroidery designs on Linux
- add text with embroidery fonts to a design
- create satin stitch and fill stitch embroidery
- export embroidery files for my embroidery machine
When to choose
- you want free, cross-platform embroidery digitizing software instead of expensive commercial tools
- you already use Inkscape and want to design embroidery from vector graphics
- you need a wide range of stitch types and pre-digitized fonts
- you run Linux, where commercial embroidery software is unavailable
When to avoid
- you need a standalone application without installing Inkscape
- you require commercial support or guaranteed professional-grade digitizing automation
- you want a simple one-click raster-to-embroidery converter with no manual design work
