Embroidery quality starts with artwork quality
The better your artwork going in, the better your embroidery coming out. CorelDRAW gives you professional-grade vector tools to create, clean, and prepare graphics before they become stitches - leading to cleaner paths, smoother satin columns, and fewer production headaches.
Seamless Hatch Integration
Switch between CorelDRAW's Graphics Mode and Hatch's Embroidery Mode at the click of a button. No file exporting, no switching applications - just a connected workflow.
Better Auto-Digitizing Results
Clean vector artwork produces dramatically better automatic embroidery conversions. Use CorelDRAW to prepare and refine your graphics before digitizing for superior stitch quality.
One-Click Conversion
Convert vector graphics directly into embroidery objects with Hatch. Tag shapes as appliqué, match thread colors, and preserve graphic elements - all in the same workflow.
70+ File Formats
Import CDR, AI, SVG, EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP and dozens more. Bring in customer logos, artwork, and photos, then prepare them for perfect digitizing results.
Professional Drawing Tools
