- For
- Machine embroiderers checking designs before stitching
- Worth noticing
- The hoop's stitchable field can be smaller than its named size, so the page advises checking the machine manual.
Field notes
Users can load a DST, PES, JEF, or EXP file, choose a hoop by its stitchable field, and try the interface with a sample patch. The thread area can compare a design against a thread box saved in the browser, while the converter maps a thread number to a closest color in another brand. The page attributes its thread charts to Ink/Stitch and cautions that a machine's stitchable field may be smaller than its hoop's named size.
