Wilcom: A Crucial Partner
in Creating the Anointing Screen
Today, we are thrilled to share the remarkable story behind the creation of the Anointing Screen for King Charles III’s coronation.
In a captivating display that merges tradition and digital technology, the Anointing Screen showcases the seamless convergence of hand embroidery from the Royal School of Needlework and modern innovation.
At the heart of this captivating masterpiece lies Wilcom’s digital embroidery software. Our industry-leading design tools and cutting-edge features empowered Pete Tarrant of Digi-Tek, a renowned digitizer, to bring the intricate tree outline to life with unparalleled precision.
