I needed to adjust the shape and make the swirls wider wider satin stitch. I had purchased a design as I liked the lettering shape but when I stitched it the serifs were just too narrow as I was stitching on a fine knit. The stitches are clear to see and to edit.
I already had the new stuff - why would I pay dearly for it all over again from Bernina? I also really like the editing side of Hatch. The engine of both being made by the same parent company - Wilcom.
It has such lovely features that I did not upgrade from Version 7 Bernina Artista to Version 8 as all the new features in the Bernina upgrade were already in the Hatch program. I feel that the program is really great value for money and I am very comfortable using it. The lettering is really awesome - as is the whole program. Customizer accesses all the True Type Fonts that are installed on your computer and as well has 60 pre-digitised fonts available as well. I purchased the complete program on the spot as I wanted to be able to use everything. See the handy chart at this link to compare the features of all levels. There are upgrades between each module so that you can move up to the next level when you are ready. 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. 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. 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! As 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 lived and breathed Embird for many years and my tutorials and lessons would number in the hundreds. Topik level 5 vocabularyĮven though I have been a dedicated user of Embird for well over 18 years, I was fascinated by the Hatch program.
