Making embroidery accessible through automation

With a simple sewing machine attachment, hobbyists can transform digital designs into embroidery patterns and automatically stitch the design onto fabric.
Embroidery requires specialized skills and knowledge, and it is difficult to create custom designs with complicated digitizing software.
Popular embroidery design software is easily in the thousands of dollars and can sometimes only be bought at a physical store.
Sewing machine companies tend to produce archaic and proprietary technology, creating an ecosystem that discourages people from sharing designs.
Stitch Studio automates embroidery and uses simple digitizing software, making it easy to create intricate designs without specialized skills and knowledge.
Stitch Studio works with existing sewing machines as well as embroidery design software that is free and accessible online.
Stitch Studio can be used with open-source software, encouraging design sharing and leveraging community-driven code improvements.
