What does Digitizer include that Composer doesn't?

Digitizer is the complete package - it includes everything in Organizer, Personalizer, and Composer, plus full manual digitizing tools so you can create designs from scratch with complete stitch-level control. It also adds Advanced Appliqué, Color PhotoStitch (turn photos into embroidery), Multi Blend for smooth color gradients, Continue Digitizing, Hand Stitch, Weld, 3D raised embroidery effects, freehand and motif tools, and 130 professionally digitized fonts. If you want to create anything you can imagine in embroidery, Digitizer is the level for you.

Do I need to know how to digitize to use Digitizer?

No. Digitizer includes all the same auto-digitizing tools as Composer, so you can turn photos and artwork into embroidery automatically. The manual digitizing tools are there when you want to take full creative control - but you don't need to use them to get great results from day one.

How many embroidery fonts does Digitizer include?

Digitizer includes 130 professionally digitized embroidery fonts - the largest font library across all four Hatch levels. TrueType and OpenType font support is also included.

Can Digitizer turn photos into embroidery?

Yes. Digitizer includes Color PhotoStitch, which transforms color photographs into realistic embroidery. It also includes PhotoFlash and Reef PhotoStitch for grayscale and stylized photo effects. These photographic auto-digitizing tools are exclusive to Digitizer.

Does Digitizer 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 for Digitizer 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 Digitizer today for US$99/month over 13 installments (total US$1,287), rather than paying upfront. You get full access to every feature 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 a lower level to Digitizer?

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

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

es. Existing Hatch owners receive discounted upgrade pricing based on their current level and version. Sign in to your Hatch account to see your options.

Can I try Digitizer 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 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 Digitizer?

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 Digitizer owners.
