My Tools
These are the software and tools I use in my work spaces. I love seeing what other people use, what they like, and sharing tips.
Digitizing Software
Wilcom EmbroideryStudio Designing is arguably the industry-standard for embroidery digitizing. It includes an array of digitizing tools, creative stitch types, productivity tools, a wide selection of lettering, and powerful editing tools to build efficient embroidery designs of the highest quality. I have been using this software for two years.
Embroidery Machine
I have been sewing on the ZSK Sprint 6 for over ten years. It is a single-head, 12 needle commercial embroidery machine.
Hoops
Mighty Hoops magnetic hoops are by far the best hoops available, in my opinion. I have been using them for over ten years. My most-used hoops are the 5.5", 4.25" and the 7.25". I also use a 10".
Snips
The Golden Eagle Deluxe Thread Cutter Snips are one of my most-used tools. I have multiple pairs at home and at work. They are simply the best thread snips in my opinion.
Embroidery Machine - Home Studio
I sew all samples of my designs on a Brother PE535 embroidery machine before listing them for sale in my shop. Find my review of this embroidery machine here.
