10 Ways EmbroideryStudio 2026
Is Redefining Digitizing

Multi Blend

Available in DESIGNING only

Bring embroidery to life with stunning depth and dimension. Designers can blend stitch types and colors across layers, adjust shading and settings with simple controls, and preview changes instantly.

Choose from ready-made styles like rainbow, fire, and chrome, or save your own custom blends to design faster and more creatively.

Custom Accordion Spacing

Available in DESIGNING only

Accordion Spacing has been expanded to support variable densities within a single Accordion Object. It gives embroidery designers full flexibility to define graduations, enabling them to create sophisticated, wave-like color-blending effects with two or more colors.

Redwork

Available in DESIGNING only

Create clean, minimal line-art embroidery with ease. The tool automatically organizes and groups outline stitches for optimal sequencing and fewer trims. Perfect for simple outline designs, vintage styles, or decorative linework.

Continue Digitizing

Available in DESIGNING and DECORATING only

Say goodbye to tedious rework on previously completed objects. 

With Continue Digitizing, you can pick up exactly where you left off on existing embroidery objects by simply continuing from the end node. The result? Seamless joins, smoother stitching, faster editing, and a more intuitive creative flow.

Precision Digitizing with Snapping Options

Available in DESIGNING, DECORATING & EDITING

Take your digitizing accuracy to the next level with advanced Snapping Options — including Snap to Grid, Snap to Guide, and the brand-new Snap to Objects.

Input points now automatically snap to grids and objects, guided by clear visuals for effortless precision. A true game changer — work faster and achieve perfect alignment every time.

Streamline Production Export

Available in ALL LEVELS

Save time by exporting designs and production worksheets in just one step. 

With customizable Export and Print Profiles, you can predefine file formats, worksheet options, and destination folders, so you can generate every required output file at once.

Independent Pull Compensation

Available in ALL LEVELS

Set different and independent pull compensation values for each side of an object.

This ensures greater accuracy when stitching over existing fills or directly onto fabrics, where each side reacts differently to stitching stress. The result is cleaner edges, fewer manual adjustments, and more reliable, professional-quality embroidery.

Major & Minor Grids

Available in ALL LEVELS

Get the precision you need. The existing 10mm grid remains, while a new minor grid lets you fine-tune every detail. Perfect for detailed design work that requires accuracy and control.

Answers

Available in ALL LEVELS

An on-demand AI assistant powered by Wilcom-trained knowledge, providing fast, factual, step-by-step guidance right where you need it, inside EmbroideryStudio.

Automatic Buttonholes

Available in DESIGNING & DECORATING

The new Add Buttonhole tool automates buttonhole creation with adjustable size and stitch parameters — ideal for fashion, apparel, and decorative embroidery applications.
