With just a single click, you can transform any vector design into a stunning, professional-quality embroidery masterpiece, saving time and effort while achieving exceptional results.
Import your favorite vector designs in popular file formats like .PDF, .AI, CMX, and .EPS, or create your own unique design from scratch using DRAWings PRO’s intuitive and feature-rich interface. The software’s advanced automatic digitizing capabilities ensure that your converted designs retain their original detail and vibrancy, making them stand out in any embroidery project
Convert any photo to a beautiful PaintStitch masterpiece
Any photo can now become a beautiful embroidery design. With PaintStitch you will get photo-realistic embroidery results with the use of the advanced, patented algorithms that were implemented for this purpose. PaintStitch designs are perfect for frames, gifts and for capturing unique moments.
Create designs with blended thread colors (gradient fill)
Blending colors is now possible with the new gradient fill function. By blending two or more overlapping shapes with gradient fill you can create beautiful fading color effects that change the look and feel of the design completely. You can control the gradient percentage and easily change its direction.
Spiral in closed shapes
Piping stitch objects can be turned into stunning spiral fill designs with ease. Just insert a point direction or center mark in your design, and you’re all set. And the best part is, you can use styles on these spiral stitches to create beautiful embroidery results!
Create designs with curved stitches
Step-filled objects can now take on an exciting new look with curve directions. The process is simple: start with a normal, straight direction, then drag it from the middle to create a curve. The stitches on the object will automatically change to follow the curvature of the direction.
Convert or fill your designs with
Cross-stitches
The newest way to fill designs with cross-stitches is here! Until now, these stitches could only be added to bitmap files, but now, they can fill vector files as well. With this incredible tool, you can use cross-stitches as fill embroidery types instead of traditional options like Satin and Step. This allows for unparalleled creativity, as you can combine various fill types to make designs that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Advanced applique
You can set the holding stitches to E-stitch or Zig-Zag and select the way the fabric will be trimmed from the Fabric trim option. A feature to remove overlapped Applique is available. The Fabric trim option that you will select, will affect the way the applique design will be embroidered. The applique fabric can also be cut with your Cutter.
Multi-hooping support
You can now create larger designs using multi-hooping support. The software automatically splits the design in the best possible way. You won’t lose the ability to customise how the design is separated.
Pre-digitized fonts included in the Lettering tool
More than 200 pre-digitized fonts added into the software, made from professional embroiderers, for high quality lettering sew outs. Each pre-digitized font is previewed during the selection process.
Envelope on text
When you add lettering objects, you can now place the text in an envelope. With several envelope options, you can easily adjust them further in the “edit nodes” mode. This feature enables you to add a new dimension of creativity to your designs and make them stand out effortlessly.
Convert fill to center line with ease
This feature enables transforming a fill area created with Satin, Step, Piping, etc. into Satin serial or Running stitch. This is particularly beneficial for smaller text objects. If the text size limits filling with Satin stitches, applying this function can fill the object with Running stitches instead.
Automatic floral design creation
Introducing automatic floral design creation, a revolutionary feature that dynamically generates stunning designs to enhance your creativity. Combine this feature with your own designs and even set your preferred flowers to be incorporated by the floral creation. The possibilities of creative blends are endless!
Split objects with the new knife cut tool
The knife cut tool lets you slice objects with ease in just a few clicks. Position the tool over the shape you want to cut and drag it along the line you want to create as your cut path. Once you release the mouse, all the elements below this line will be cut in two pieces. This tool can help you save valuable time and effort.
Complete stitch editor
The stitch editor is an all-in-one tool that simplifies moving, deleting, and inserting multiple stitches. It grants the freedom to adjust every stitch of your design with ease, and you’ll have complete control over your project. The editor’s functionality is exceptional, and it allows you to create a piece of art that is visually appealing and meticulously crafted.
Organize your designs
The design browser lists all the supported designs you have on your computer, making it simple to find and select the right one. You can easily search for designs and organize them according to your preferences – add your favorite folders to the respective section for quick access to your most used designs. With this feature, managing your designs has never been simpler!
Different Methods for Cornering Satin Serial Objects
Satin Serial objects can now achieve that unique, homemade aesthetic with the cornering method. As an alternative to traditional cornering, this fresh approach brings a distinct look and feel that can elevate your designs. With “Homemade corners,” you can easily apply this technique to any Satin Serial object.
Apply trim and intersect on bitmap images
Another way to manipulate bitmap images is by using the Trim and Intersect tools. For example, trim allows the user to trim parts of the design and create holes. Intersect can also be utilized to combine multiple shapes, keeping only the overlapping area. With these tools, users have the ability to enhance their bitmap images and create unique embroidery designs.
Patent pending Sketch stitch
Our newest addition to our embroidery software is the patent pending Sketch stitch technique. With Sketch, a bitmap image can be transformed into a charcoal sketch with just a black thread or an assortment of gray threads. The technique is tailored for use mostly on white fabric and covers roughly 20% of the area, making it versatile for embroidery on delicate materials like t-shirts. Reversed versions of Sketch on dark fabrics is also supported. This added feature expands the range of customizable options for our valued users.

DRAWings® PRO XII
Create unique shape fills with the New Array fill type, Space Fill
This innovative Space Fill type utilizes copies of the internal shape to create a unique, statement look for the outer shape area. The copies are scaled and rotated randomly to add dimension and texture to the design. This fill type can be used in a variety of ways, including large shapes for added visual interest
Convert images with transparency to stitches without filling the transparent areas
DRAWings PRO version XII supports PNG files with transparency and will only generate stitches in the non-transparent area of the image. This ensures that the finished product has clean lines and does not waste any thread or fabric by filling in unnecessary spaces.
Use bitmap images for your rectangular or circular arrays
Bitmap images in a rectangular or circular array can add a new dimension to any project. Whether it’s a cross-stitch design, Photostitch, PaintStitch, or Sketch, these arrays allow for unique patterns and symmetry. It is truly easy to create these arrays, using any bitmap image in a chosen array shape. Size and placement are fully customizable. The result is a visually striking design that will certainly impress.
Random stitches (Satin – Satin serial)
Satin – Satin serial stitches can add depth and texture to an embroidery design, but when placed in a random pattern, they can take on a whole new level of visual interest. This technique allows for greater flexibility in the composition of a design, as well as a more unconventional and unpredictable look. The random placement adds movement and energy to the design, creating a unique piece every time. Random satin stitches can elevate any embroidery project and lend it a truly one-of-a-kind feel.
Images with Bitmap fill types – Clipping region
Clipping is now available for every bitmap fill type, that is, Cross-stitch, Photo-stitch, PaintStitch and Sketch. By default, those type of images cover a rectangular area. Now, users are no longer confined by the rectangular shape. Clipping can be used to either produce a different output shape, e.g. an oval PaintStitch image or to clip out parts of an image to be further used for more intrinsic designs.
Array fill with bitmap fill types
The new Array tool allows the user to fill an area using a bitmap image. This results in stunning effects with Cross-stitch, Photostitch, PaintStitch, and Sketch, which can take any design project to the next level. Usage of this feature is really simple, therefore allowing the user to effortlessly experiment with different patterns to achieve unique results every time.
Edit bitmap images that are filled with stitches inside the node editor
The node editor can now be used to edit bitmap images that contain stitch patterns. By inserting nodes and adjusting their positioning, the user may modify the shape and design of the image as desired. This added feature offers enhanced flexibility and customization for bitmap images with stitching, enabling more precise editing capabilities. This functionality can be particularly useful for stitching the image in a specific shape or area. Overall, the node editor’s ability to edit bitmap images with stitches provides exciting possibilities for visual creativity.
New fill type in Array, Floral fill
“Floral fill” is a special Array fill type which automatically creates impressive floral designs by using your own flowers to fill the array. It is a combination of “Floral vine” and “Space fill” which produces beautiful and unique embroidery designs.
Fit the embroidery design in the hoop automatically
DRAWings PRO XII offers the “fit to hoop” option, a unique feature to conveniently fit any design in the hoop. The software automatically scales the design to fit within the embroidery area of the hoop. No more manually adjusting or guessing at the correct size -the software takes care of it.
Smooth nodes – fine tune vector shape
DRAWings PRO XII automatically removes any unnecessary nodes, thus increasing the quality of the designs created after trace (Auto-digitize). Since cusp nodes are not to be removed by this automatic tool, converting the cusp nodes into smooth nodes is recommended before applying the tool.
Precise text spacing between characters
Embroidery letter spacing can now easily be adjusted with numeric values. Depending on the design, a smaller value will result in tighter spacing while a larger value will create looser spacing between letters. These settings can be adjusted to the user’s liking, allowing for maximum customization of the designs.
Revolutionary new tool to add start/exit points and
re-arrange objects at the same time
“The new, patent-pending rearrange tool allows users to effortlessly modify design sequences, trim points, and start/exit points all at once. It works within a single-color layer, displaying the entire sequence graphically while allowing for simple drag operations to make changes intuitively. Users can further add or remove trims and adjust start and exit points with ease. This innovative tool streamlines the design process, saving time and improving efficiency.
One step conversion of any design to redwork (designs that are created with red running stitches on white fabric). Create light weight embroidery designs by keeping only their outlines. Redwork designs are a trend traditional way of for creating clear minimal designs yet but still beautiful and modern.
Convert your designs to redwork
Vector fill Pen type
Vector fill tool allows you to create stunning designs effortlessly by drawing over large Satin on Step filled shapes. With each curve you draw, stitch penetration points are automatically generated on the shape below. To add unique and complex effects to Satin/Step filled designs, use Array fill on a shape and fill it with a Vector fill object. It’s a handy tool to break wide satin bars and prevent excessively long satin stitches.
Paint your designs
The Cutter offers endless possibilities for creative design. With a simple switch of the blade, a brush or pen can be attached, ready for painting. The available paint fill types are plentiful, providing for truly unique artistic expression. From the zigzag and row-fill fill types to the line and zigzag pen/outline types, each variation includes adjustable parameters that allow for personalized control. Let your imagination run wild and discover all the amazing ways that the Cutter can help you explore your creativity!
Stippling fill type
Craft exquisite designs using stippling for embroidery or quilting. This highly customizable tool makes quilting an effortless endeavour.
Create beautiful designs with crystals/rhinestones

You can create customized fills – whether circular, contour or line fit, and single line – giving you complete creative control in shaping objects to your taste.
Create designs using any shape you wish!
Advanced technology has made it possible to fill your embroidery designs with any shape you desire. By using the Fill and Outline Array, you can tailor your preferred patterns to fit your vision.
