Ocean Crest — Embrova
Embrova Studio showing the Ocean Crest sample in the Embroidery view, with Layers on the left and the inspector on the right.
03 / 05Embroidery The exact stitch plan: penetrations, jumps, trims and colour changes, all inspectable.

Go on — click the dock. Switch views, press P to stitch a line, R for a tatami fill, H to pan. Screens are captured from the current development build.

Craft

Digitise without the guesswork.

An embroidery-first CAD tool, not a vector editor with a file exporter bolted on. The things that decide how a design sews are always in reach — and always honest.

Semantic objects

Objects, not stitch soup.

Satin columns, tatami fills, runs, appliqué and lettering stay editable. Change a property and the stitches regenerate from your intent. Try it.

Structure

Layers aren’t sew order.

Hierarchy lives in Layers. Stitching sequence lives in Sequence. Never conflated.

Inspection

Every point, visible.

Entry and exit, jumps, trims and colour changes aren’t buried in a dialog.

Preview

See it before you sew it.

Realistic and 3D read the same exact plan. Hover to orbit.

Optional AI

AI that asks first.

Proposals are validated, previewed and accepted as a single undo. The deterministic compiler stays the stitch engine — and every edit still works without AI.

Output

Exports you can check.

DST and PES are written, read back and compared, command by command.

Process

From line to thread.

Scroll, and watch it sew.

  1. 01

    Draw

    Pen, shapes and lettering on a real vector canvas. Bring in SVG artwork and keep editing it.

  2. 02

    Digitise

    Make shapes into satin, fill and run objects. Entry, exit, underlay and pull compensation stay in reach.

  3. 03

    Inspect

    Embroidery, Realistic and 3D are views of one document — switching never converts or degrades a thing.

  4. 04

    Export

    Machine files are artefacts; your .embrova project stays the editable master. The sew-out is still yours to judge.

Principles

Built like a CAD tool.
Felt like a Mac app.

i.

Deterministic core

The same document, engine and settings produce the same stitch plan. Every time.

ii.

Durable projects

A versioned, migratable project format with stable object IDs and physical units.

iii.

Canvas first

Direct manipulation, contextual docks, keyboard everywhere and a ⌘K palette.

Make something
worth wearing.
