- Worth noticing
- Lettering can remain editable, and the site says joined lettering reduced “Karate” from 23 trims to 5.
Field notes
The workflow centers on editable shapes: changing a setting rebuilds the stitches rather than requiring users to edit stitch paths directly. A stitch player previews the sew-out, and the site lists hoop sizing, trim settings, start points and sewing order controls. Its team-name feature can produce a separate DST file for each name in a pasted list.
