Appliqué Maker: The Cut File That Fits
A browser tool that turns an SVG, PNG, or typed name into appliqué embroidery files and matching machine-cut outlines.
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.
