Make your own embroidery files.
With the right embroidery software, you can edit embroidery files, combine designs, add lettering and—depending on the version—professionally digitise your own artwork. This collection includes options for Mac and Windows, from accessible editing tools to full digitising software.
The current software family is called CREATIVATE. CREATIVATE Essential is designed for editing and personalising existing designs, CREATIVATE Extra adds creative wizards and automatic digitising, and CREATIVATE Elite also includes manual digitising and comprehensive stitch editing. CREATIVATE Elite was previously known as mySewnet Platinum and, before that, PREMIER+ 2 ULTRA.
Not sure which version fits your workflow? Our CREATIVATE version comparison explains the differences. The CREATIVATE Elite or BERNINA V9 comparison also helps you choose based on operating system, workflow and features.
Whether you're just starting out creating your own embroidery designs or digitizing professionally, this category features embroidery software for Mac and Windows – from beginner-friendly programs to professional solutions. Included are Creativate (formerly mySewnet), PE-Design from Brother, Bernina V9, and Wilcom. Create your own designs, adapt existing designs, or use tools for appliqués, ITH projects, fonts, and photo embroidery. All programs are compatible with common embroidery machines and offer you maximum control over your design. Ideal for both personal and commercial applications.
