Embroidery software for Bernina machines

Stichii is browser-based embroidery software that exports EXP, one of the formats Bernina embroidery machines accept. Digitize artwork, edit the stitch path, and export a clean EXP for your Bernina.

Made for Bernina EXP export

Many Bernina embroidery machines read EXP (Melco Expanded), typically paired with an .inf color file. Stichii writes a correct EXP stream — emitting the jump opcode once per jump, not per sub-move — so multi-region designs sew cleanly. It also exports PES, DST, JEF, and VP3 from the same design.

Every file Stichii writes is validated against pyembroidery — the same reference library used by Ink/Stitch and other open-source embroidery tools — so the stitches, jumps, trims, and color stops land where your machine expects them.

  • Export EXP for Bernina embroidery machines.
  • Auto-digitize PNG, JPG, or SVG into editable embroidery objects.
  • Clean jump/trim handling across separate color regions.
  • Live preview, density and underlay control, color sequencing.

Why a browser tool for Bernina

Stichii runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install, no Windows-only desktop suite, and no four-figure license. Open it on a laptop, a Surface, or an iPad next to the machine and start working immediately.
