Stitch ERA Lite software will convert images from different sources and in several formats, including scanned images, to unique machine embroidery designs, in just a few steps.

Designs created with Stitch ERA Lite are ready to run on most home embroidery and professional machines.

No intensive training is required to operate the software. Machine embroidery enthusiast users do not have to spend much time on the automatic design process.

The system recognizes the different image parts and associates the programmed stitch type, at the same time it defines the stitch sequence.

Even when manual digitizing is not needed because Stitch ERA Lite software does it all, there are several useful tools. In addition, users are able to change stitching parameters and sewing sequence before and after the embroidery design is generated.

Stitch ERA Lite also includes all the features present in Stitch ERA Essentials (storage and management, stitch edition, advanced edition, lettering system, etc.), conforming a complete, practical and efficient solution, for those who want to get the best quality of each embroidery design, plus the possibility of creating designs quickly and automatically.

Vectorizing

When trying to create an embroidery design directly from an image having many colors or otherwise “dirty” (such as those produced by scanned files), the result will likely be different than expected. In this case it is important to vectorize that image before using it.
Stitch ERA Lite vectorizer module reduces image colors, cleans “dirty” images, recognizes shapes and converts pixel images into vector shapes to promptly obtain clean artwork to use in the automatic creation of embroidery designs.

Auto-Digitizing

Stitch ERA Lite has integrated the Object Inspector with the Style Gallery, facilitating and speeding up the stitch type selection and each one of its properties, including quality adjustments, in the creation process as well as the design edition.

Sequence & Object Editing

Users can rearrange the sewing sequence before and after processing the design and converting the artwork to embroidery stitches. With Stitch ERA Lite is also possible to easily delete or merge sections, and change section types and stitching parameters too!

Wire frame Editing

Being the design created automatically or digitized section by section, each object can be edited entirely in every aspect: modifying the shape through its nodes, adding or deleting holes, stitches directions, entry and exit points predefined or automatic by closest point connection, colors, stitch types, quality adjustments, stitch density, etc. The stitch generation is immediate.
