Is Hatch the Best Embroidery Software for You?
I’m sure at one point you’ve asked yourself: what is the best embroidery or digitizing software program for me? If so, you’re not alone. Over the years I’ve had thousands of people ask me this very question. I’ve personally been a loyal Wilcom user for over 25 years & am extremely happy that they’ve finally released Hatch as a professional alternative for the home embroiderer.
Wilcom has been the gold-standard in commercial digitizing for over two decades now. Through Hatch, Wilcom has made commercial industry features available to you, the home embroiderer. Now I’m not saying that Hatch is the end-all be-all of embroidery software programs… But I will list a few key features that set it apart and in my opinion make it the best option for most home embroiderers:
Professional Auto-Branching
Properly pathing your designs before digitizing them is a must. Why not cut your learning curve in half & let Hatch do it perfectly for you?
Commercial Grade ESA Flexi-Fonts
Unlike other embroidery font types, ESA Flexi-Fonts are 100% customizable. Re-size them, adjust stitch types, and change any node with just the click of a button!
Industry-Leading Fabric Assist
Not sure how to change the stitch count, density, underlay, push & pull compensation of your designs for different fabric types? No problem. Hatch’s native EMB file format has you covered.

Who Is John Deer & What Does He Know About Embroidery Digitizing Software?
John Deer has been the most awarded embroidery digitizer in the world for over 20 years now. As a 4th generation embroiderer, John has an extremely unique history in the embroidery digitizing industry: he is one of the last 2 living Schiffli Masters in North America. John learned and apprenticed under Swiss Schiffli Master Digitizers (then known as “punchers”) over 30 years ago in his grandparent’s factory, before computers even entered the digitizing world.
In the 1990’s-2000s John owned & ran one of North America’s largest commercial digitizing house, where he did the digitizing for many large corporations including: Disney, Coco-Cola, GM, the NFL, & the NBA. John has personally won 30 separate digitizing awards in the commercial industry and wrote the book on digitizing called “Digitizing Made Easy” which has sold over 44,300 copies & is used in Universities across the United States to teach those studying textile.

Unlike some of the other embroidery software trials out there, there are NO limitations to the free 30 day Hatch trial. The trial version of Hatch DOES allow you to save and stitch out your designs. In our opinion, the only way to truly see the quality of any embroidery software is to test stitch outs.
There are 4 levels of the Hatch software. The level of Hatch you’ll need really depends on what you’d like the software for. For example: If you only want to add custom lettering around designs or do monogramming you’ll only need Hatch Personalizer. Or if you’d like to create your own embroidery designs, you’ll need Hatch Digitizer. To view a chart explaining which features are included with each level of Hatch Click Here.
Hatch does not require a dongle to run. It’s a downloadable product which can be used on multiple computers. This is an advantage over other programs which require dongles as you do not need to repurchase the program if a dongle is lost.
Yes. Hatch can be used on up to 3 computers.
