Embroidery software for Brother machines

Stichii is browser-based embroidery software that exports PES, the native format for Brother (and Babylock) machines. Digitize artwork, edit the stitches with a live preview, and send a clean PES to your Brother — no four-figure desktop suite required.

Made for Brother PES export

Stichii writes PES the way Brother machines expect: the design is centered in the hoop with positive PEC coordinates, so models like the PE570 place it correctly instead of dragging it to a corner. It also exports DST, JEF, EXP, and VP3 from the same design if you switch machines.

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 PES for Brother PE-800, PE-900, and SE / Innov-ís machines.
  • Auto-digitize PNG, JPG, or SVG into editable stitches.
  • Live stitch preview, density and underlay control, color sequencing.
  • Import an existing PES to edit and re-export.

Why a browser tool for Brother

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.

Traditional Brother digitizing software is Windows-only and expensive. Stichii gives you real digitizing tools — satin, fill, run, and 15+ stitch types — on whatever device is next to your machine.

You can start for free. Open the editor, digitize a design, and preview the stitch path before you commit to anything. Paid plans add more exports and higher limits — see pricing for the details.
