What stitch patterns are available in this embroidery previewer?

The tool includes 7 built-in stitch patterns: Satin, Fill, Cross Stitch, Running, Chain, Long Satin, and Brick. You can also upload a custom stitch pattern image or use preset patterns like French Knot.

Can I preview embroidery on different fabric types?

Yes. Choose from 10 fabric textures including Canvas, Linen, Cotton, Denim, Twill, Oxford, Fleece, Felt, Silk, and Burlap. Each fabric renders a different weave texture that affects how the embroidery looks.

Is this embroidery text previewer really free?

Completely free with unlimited downloads. No signup, no credit card, no hidden fees. Just preview and export as many embroidery images as you need.

What resolution are the exported embroidery preview images?

All exports are 1200×1200 pixels in PNG format — high enough for product listings on Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, or social media posts.

How accurate are these embroidery stitch previews?

The previewer simulates stitch direction, thread texture, and fabric weave interaction using Canvas rendering. It gives a realistic approximation of machine embroidery, though actual results may vary slightly depending on thread brand and machine settings.

Can I curve the text like on a baseball cap?

Yes. Use the Curvature control to bend text upward or downward. Choose a preset (Strong, Gentle, Straight) or drag the slider for precise control. At maximum curvature, text forms a perfect semicircle — ideal for hat brim embroidery.

What are the embroidery-specific fonts?

We include 3 fonts designed for embroidery: Block (bold block letters, like classic cap embroidery), Satin Serif (elegant serif, great for monograms), and Script (flowing cursive, perfect for wedding text). These complement the 5 standard fonts.

What do the thread color codes mean?

Each of the 24 thread colors includes a reference code based on Madeira Polyneon numbering (e.g., Navy #1843). These codes help match the preview to actual embroidery thread spools when ordering supplies or communicating with production.

Can I use this for my Shopify or Etsy store product listings?

Absolutely. Many sellers use this tool to create preview images for personalized embroidery products. Show customers exactly what their custom text will look like before they order.
