alt Hacker NewsFor anyone interested in this space, I'd also recommend looking at InkStitch[0], which is a plugin for InkScape. It allows you to take SVGs and export them into file types that an embroidery machine can use. It's not without its faults (there is a surprising amount of care needed for any design - stitch placement, size, type, layering, etc), but it's been a fun experience to take an SVG and turn it into something real.

Inkstich is the best option right now, but I can't wait to see the new possibilities now with AI. Inkstitch feels very disadvantaged by being a plugin, everything you do requires navigating multiple layers deep in the inkscape plugin menu.
A from scratch embroidery program could lift all of these options to the top layer UI where they belong, but understandably rebuilding the whole editor part is a lot of code.
I can also recommend Inkstitch. Sure you have to do a little manual love sometimes, but honestly, tweaks are needed a lot of the time in general.
