Hatch Embroidery 4 Help & FAQ
Browse 100+ answers covering features, licensing, compatibility, and more.

What can I do in Composer that I can't do in Personalizer?

Composer adds auto-digitizing (turn photos and artwork into embroidery automatically), layout and reshaping tools, the Knife tool for editing design objects, multi-hooping for large designs, and vector file support via CorelDRAW integration. Personalizer is focused on lettering and monogramming - Composer is for users who want to create and edit their own designs.

Can I auto-digitize photos and artwork in Composer?

Yes - this is one of Composer's key features. You can turn photos and artwork into embroidery automatically in seconds. Note: advanced photographic options like Color PhotoStitch are exclusive to Digitizer.

How many embroidery fonts does Composer include?

Composer includes 78 professionally digitized fonts, plus full lettering and monogramming tools.

Does Composer work with my embroidery machine?

Yes, most likely. Hatch supports file formats used by most major brands including Brother, Janome, Bernina, Baby Lock, Singer, Husqvarna Viking, Pfaff, Tajima, Barudan, and many others. Hatch 4 also adds direct wireless transfer to supported Brother machines.

Is Hatch Embroidery sold as a subscription?

No. Hatch Embroidery is a perpetual license - you buy it once and own it. FlexPay is available if you prefer to spread payments over time, but there's no ongoing subscription required.

What is FlexPay and how does it work?

FlexPay lets you start using Composer today for US$45/month over 16 installments (total US$720), rather than paying upfront. You get full access from day one. No interest is charged, though the total paid may be slightly higher than the one-off price due to administration costs. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers your first payment. FlexPay is available for new software license purchases only.

Can I upgrade from Composer to Digitizer later?

Yes, at any time. You only pay the price difference between the two levels. Sign in to your Hatch account to see your personalized upgrade pricing. All your existing designs carry over.

Can I upgrade from an older version of Hatch to Composer 4?

Yes. Existing Hatch owners receive discounted upgrade pricing based on their current level and version. Sign in to your Hatch account and visit the pricing page.

Can I try Composer before buying?

If you don't already own a Hatch license, yes - the 30-day free trial gives full access to all four levels with no credit card required. You can switch between levels during the trial to find the right fit. If you already own a license, the trial is unavailable, but there's a 30-day money-back guarantee on purchase.

What's the difference between Composer and Digitizer - is it worth upgrading?

Composer covers auto-digitizing and design editing, which suits most hobby and home-based embroidery users. Digitizer adds full manual digitizing from scratch, advanced appliqué, color blending effects, photographic stitching (Color PhotoStitch), and more. If you want to create complex original designs with full stitch-level control, Digitizer is the step up. Compare all levels in detail →

What operating system does Hatch Embroidery 4 require?

Hatch Embroidery 4 is Windows only and requires Windows 11. See the full system requirements for hardware specifications.

What is Hatch Academy and is it included with Composer?

Hatch Academy is Wilcom's exclusive online learning platform with hundreds of lessons, projects, webinars, and community forums. Valued at US$999, it's included free for all Hatch Embroidery 4 owners - including Composer.
