You can open your designs, convert, change colours, manage design files and save, print and write your design to your machine. There are upgrades between each module so that you can move up to the next level when you are ready. So don’t get me wrong, I still use Embird because I know it so well and I have more to learn in Hatch.Īnother good thing about Hatch is that you can purchase it in four different modules according to the type of embroidery editing/designing that you wish to do. And now Embird is starting to look a bit tired. They promised they would but, no, never delivered. My guess is that I probably asked for this feature about eight years ago.

For a number of years, for instance, I had been asking for a decent stippling to be added to Embird Studio which would be wonderful for those wishing to do their quilt tops combined with embroidery designs. Too many of their updates were just tinkering around the edges instead of giving us something great and new. I had been a little disappointed that Embird weren’t appearing to keep up to date with the changes in the embroidery world. And now their latest baby has arrived for the home embroiderer – Hatch.īecause of their introductory offer I decided to buy Hatch and try it out.
#REVIEWS EMBIRD 2015 EMBROIDERY SOFTWARE SOFTWARE#
They have become the world’s favourite embroidery software for quality, ease-of-use and service. As well as their own commercial digitizing program (Embroidery Studio) they currently create embroidery software for brands such as Bernina and Janome. The program has been created by Wilcom who are well known for their great software programs. So you can see that I love embroidery programs and really enjoy seeing how they work!Īs I was following the introduction to Hatch in Melbourne I realised that I really did like this software.


I own and still use the Husqvarna and Bernina Artista software. I have also dabbled in other programs, and written quite a number of tutorials for the Brother/Babylock PE Design software. Now as most of you are aware, I have written extensive tutorials for Embird and it’s add-ons for as many years as I care to remember! I have lived and breathed Embird for many years and my tutorials and lessons would number in the hundreds. Even though I have been a dedicated user of Embird for well over 18 years, I was fascinated by the Hatch program. During a trip to Australia to an Echidna embroidery convention in Melbourne two years ago, I was introduced to the Hatch Embroidery software by John Deer.
