Embroidery software

Embroidery software for Pfaff machines

Stichii is browser-based embroidery software that exports VP3, the format for Pfaff (and Husqvarna Viking) machines. Digitize artwork, edit it with a live preview, and export a clean VP3 for your Pfaff.

Made for Pfaff VP3 export

Stichii writes the canonical VP3 structure — the %vsm% magic, UTF-16 strings, big-endian integers, and correct nested-block length prefixes — with thread colors embedded so your Pfaff reads the design as expected. It also exports PES, DST, JEF, and EXP 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 VP3 for Pfaff Creative machines like the Creative 4.5.
  • Auto-digitize PNG, JPG, or SVG into editable embroidery objects.
  • Thread colors are embedded in the VP3 file.
  • Live preview, density and underlay control, color sequencing.

Why a browser tool for Pfaff

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.

Pfaff digitizing software is a paid desktop product. Stichii gives you satin, fill, run, and 15+ stitch types in the browser on any device 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.
