Keyboard Design Collection

Map Designs to Keyboard Characters with Keyboard Design Collection (KDC)

New in EmbroideryStudio 2025

Embroidery character designs have become a staple in the embroidery industry, loved for their versatility and time-saving benefits. Many embroidery professionals purchase character sets from third-party suppliers, seeking to elevate their designs with unique and custom lettering.

But how can you seamlessly integrate these purchased character sets into your workflow? That’s where new Keyboard Design Collection (KDC) feature comes in!

The KDC tool is a game-changer for embroiderers, offering a convenient way to map third-party embroidery character sets and images directly to keyboard characters. This means you can easily type out your designs with the mapped characters, eliminating the hassle of manually positioning each letter or number.

Access it in the Lettering Object Properties panel by selecting the “Type” dropdown.

“The Keyboard Design Collection tool simplifies mapping the alphabet and other embroidery designs to keyboard characters, making them instantly accessible with lettering and monogramming tools”. Says Brenden Prazner, Wilcom’s Chief Product Officer

With the release of EmbroideryStudio 2025, you now have access to two new pre-designed KDCs—Impossible and Double Applique—to help you get started. These ready-to-use designs demonstrate the power and flexibility of the KDC feature, making it easier than ever to create stunning lettering and embroidery designs. Available in the DESIGNING level.

EmbroideryStudio 2025 is redefining how you work with character designs, offering tools that enhance creativity and streamline your process. Are you ready to explore the potential of the Keyboard Design Collection?
