What’s new in EmbroideryStudio 2026

Key enhancements and new tools designed to improve digitizing precision, efficiency, and production workflows.

Snap to Object

Improved snapping controls automatically align input points to edges, nodes, and objects, helping you create cleaner outlines and digitize designs faster with greater precision.

Multi Blend

Add depth, shading, and smooth gradients with layered stitch blends. Adjust colors, preview changes instantly, and choose from presets or build your own custom blends.

Continue Digitizing

Keep digitizing a closed object without restarting. Avoid overlaps, reduce cleanup, and maintain a clean Color Object List.

Custom Accordion Spacing

Create wave-like density shifts within a single accordion object for dynamic texture and visual flow.

Redwork

Convert outlines into continuous Redwork with Single, Triple, Backstitch, or Stemstitch runs, all optimized for smooth pathing.

Wilcom Answers

Answers is your built-in assistant, powered by AI, but sourced entirely from official Wilcom documentation. Verified content is extracted from product guides, knowledge libraries, and user resources, then delivered as step-by-step help with source links included.

Unlock a Productivity Boost

Export Files as You Keep Working

Keep your workflow uninterrupted! Export machine stitch files in the background while you continue digitizing. With the new Export Docker, you can easily track your export progress and history.

Reporting Capabilities

Built-in reporting provides flexible reporting options for both customers and teams, including Approval Forms, Production Worksheets, Summaries, and Color Films. Worksheets feature barcodes, and reports can be easily customized to include the exact details needed.

Name Drop with Ease

Easily import and manage your list of names directly within the logo embroidery file, then save it as a reusable template*. Use the Matrix feature to automatically generate and sequence designs for optimal production, all within one ready-to-use file. This feature is perfect for sports teams and uniform orders.

*Template-saving capabilities are included in Team Names Advanced and are available with the DESIGNING subscription.

Wilcom lettering just got better!
