Appliqué Maker: The Cut File That Fits

appliquemaker.com Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser tool that turns an SVG, PNG, or typed name into appliqué embroidery files and matching machine-cut outlines.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The workflow separates the design into placement, tack-down, underlay, and satin stages, then derives the fabric outline from the satin width, fabric type, and placement care. Exports include SVG and DXF cut files alongside PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, XXX, or PEC machine files, plus a printable 1:1 template. Its prediction section cites laser-kerf measurements, embroidery compensation defaults, and tests against Ink/Stitch on ten shapes, while noting that broader machine testing remains incomplete.
