SVG to stitches

Digitizing works from the vector outlines in your SVG, so edges come out exactly as drawn. A stroked path becomes a satin column of that path's own width; a filled shape gets underlay, angled fill rows and a sealed edge; narrow filled shapes — outlined lettering — are found and satined across the stroke. Export from Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or Affinity with text converted to outlines.

How the converter digitizes your SVG

Each SVG colour becomes a thread colour, matched to the nearest Brother thread so the PES opens in sensible colours on your machine.

Fills get underlay and angled rows, strokes and outlined lettering become satin columns, and every trim is tied off.

Turn on Group same colours together to reduce thread changes on a single-needle machine.

How to convert SVG to PES

Scroll up — the Convert tab is already open. Drop your .svg file in, or click Choose SVG.

Set the design width in mm, then adjust density and stitch length if needed.

Click Generate stitches and check the notes for anything too thin to sew.

Open the result in the viewer to play the sew-out, then save it as PES.

Choose the final size before generating PES stitches

Set your intended width before generating. Scaling a finished stitch file is different from regenerating stitches from its vector artwork. Inspect small lettering, narrow gaps and colour order, and keep the resulting design within your machine's sewing area. The converter exports PES stitch data, not an editable Wilcom EMB project.

Frequently asked questions

Will the PES file work on my Brother machine?

EmbroViewer writes PES version 1 with a PEC block, which Brother and Baby Lock machines read. Keep the design within your hoop size and sew a test first.

Can I use a Cricut or Silhouette SVG?

Often yes — cutting SVGs are clean vector shapes. Very thin lines may need thickening to at least 1.2 mm at your chosen size.
