Embroidery software for Janome machines

Stichii is browser-based embroidery software that exports JEF, the native Janome format. Digitize artwork, edit it with a live preview, and export a clean JEF for your Janome machine.

Made for Janome JEF export

Stichii writes the canonical JEF layout — proper header, color palette, color count, and terminator — so your Janome reads it cleanly with the colors intact. It also exports PES, DST, EXP, 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 JEF for Janome Memory Craft machines like the MC500E.
  • Auto-digitize PNG, JPG, or SVG into editable embroidery objects.
  • Colors travel with the file in the JEF palette.
  • Live preview, density and underlay control, color sequencing.

Why a browser tool for Janome

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.

Janome digitizing software has traditionally been a paid, Windows-only download. Stichii gives you satin, fill, run, and 15+ stitch types in the browser on any device.

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.
