A render shows exactly what's in the stitch file. Fabric, stabilizer and your machine still shape the final result, so always run a test stitch first.
These artworks are our own fictional designs, not customer work.

What does it cost?
Start with 5 free designs in a free account. No card. Credits and a Pro plan are coming soon.
Is the preview a photo?
No. It's a render made from the actual stitch file: every stitch, in order, in your thread colors. It's the closest look you can get before sewing, but fabric and machine still matter, so run a test stitch.
Which machines can use the files?
Any machine that reads DST, PES, JEF, EXP, VP3 or XXX. Those are the formats read by Brother, Baby Lock, Janome, Elna, BERNINA, Husqvarna Viking, PFAFF, Singer, Tajima and most commercial multi-needle machines.
