Canvas
Direct satin editing
Shape rails and rungs directly on the canvas — width, angle and corners follow your hand.
Digitisers, welcome to
a better workspace.
Embrova is a modern embroidery workspace for drawing, digitising, previewing, and exporting production-ready designs — without flattening your work into uneditable stitches.

Exact stitch simulation
Inspect every penetration, jump, trim and colour change before it reaches fabric.

Chapter one
Digitise without distractions
Precise vector tools and embroidery controls share one canvas. Shape the artwork, define how it should stitch, and refine the result without bouncing between disconnected tools.
One document, four views
Artwork, Compare, Embroidery and Realistic are representations of the same semantic design.
Every point intentional
Pen, node, Bézier, boolean, offset, alignment, guides and snapping — the vector toolkit you expect, kept sharp.
Satin, shaped directly
Edit rails, rungs, width, compensation, corners and direction right on the canvas.
Fills that stay editable
Control tatami angle, density, underlay, expansion and entry/exit — without ever flattening the design into raw stitches.

Chapter two
Know how it will stitch
Move from artwork to an exact, inspectable stitch plan. Play the sequence, reveal underlay and travel, and catch production problems before they reach the machine.
Sew simulation
Play the sew order
Scrub through the plan object by object. Sequence stays in sync while the stitch count and runtime update live — no autoplay, you hold the playhead.

See every stitch
Technical view with penetrations, underlay, jumps, trims and colour blocks.
High density where fills overlap — may cause thread breaks.
2 long jumps exceed 12 mm and will be auto-trimmed.
Catch problems early
Hoop violations, tiny or long stitches, excess density, long jumps and risky satin widths.

Sequence with confidence
Layers show document structure; Sequence shows the actual sew order — and the difference is always visible.
From screen to fabric
The same design as semantic artwork, an exact technical view, and a real sew-out.

Chapter three
From design to machine
Keep an editable master, validate against your hoop and machine profile, then export a production file with confidence.
An editable source of truth
A .embrova project preserves artwork, semantic objects, settings, sequence and provenance. Generated stitches stay reproducible cache data.

The assistant
AI can suggest.
You decide.
Ask Embrova to inspect a selection, explain a warning, or propose an edit. Every change is previewable, validated, undoable, and yours to approve.
It never generates finished embroidery from a vague prompt — it works on the objects you already have.

Made for better embroidery
Objects stay editable
The project is more than raw stitch coordinates — every object remains yours to reshape.
A deterministic engine
The same design and settings always produce the same stitch plan. No surprises at the machine.
AI is optional
Every ordinary workflow remains available directly. The assistant helps only when you ask.
A better way to turn artwork into thread.
