What is the best easy embroidery software?

If you’re looking for easy embroidery software, the “best” option depends a bit on what you want to do (editing designs, digitizing from scratch, or just customizing). Here are some of the most beginner-friendly choices:


🖥️ For Basic Editing & Lettering

  • Embrilliance Essentials
    Very popular with hobbyists. Lets you resize, add text, combine, and color-sort designs. Simple interface and works on both Windows & Mac. No need for a dongle.

  • SewWhat-Pro
    Affordable and user-friendly. Great for splitting designs for smaller hoops, editing stitch order, and doing light customization.


🎨 For Easy Digitizing (turning images into embroidery files)

  • Embrilliance StitchArtist (Level 1)
    Entry-level digitizing with step-by-step tools, designed for beginners.

  • PE-Design Lite (Brother)
    Simplified version of Brother’s software—easy to use if you have a Brother machine.

  • Hatch Embroidery Personalizer / Composer
    Hatch (by Wilcom) has a very beginner-friendly interface. The “Personalizer” version is focused on text and monograms; “Composer” adds auto-digitizing.


🌐 Free / Budget-Friendly Options

  • Inkscape + Ink/Stitch plug-in
    Open-source and free. It’s a bit more technical but allows digitizing without cost. Great if you’re comfortable with vector graphics.

  • My Editor (Wings Systems)
    Free software for viewing and making simple edits (resizing, color changes, rotations).


Best pick for most beginners: Embrilliance Essentials — it’s simple, stable, cross-platform, and widely supported in embroidery communities.
Best free option: Inkscape + Ink/Stitch, if you don’t mind a small learning curve.

J'ai déjà ce logiciel de broderie PE-Design Lite (Brother) mais j' ai l habitude avec EMBIRD

Alors je ne sais plus m 'en servir!
