The stitch engine that makes every letter shine.
Hatch Embroidery lettering is powered by the same world-class Wilcom stitch engine used in professional embroidery production software. The software automatically adjusts stitch density to match the width and shape of each character - so letters look even and professional whether they're stitched at 5mm or 50mm.
Advanced algorithms compensate for varying curves and stitch angles, giving you beautifully smooth results without any manual adjustment. It's like having a built-in embroidery expert doing the fine-tuning for you.
- Auto-adjusting stitch density for even coverage at any size
- Curve compensation for smooth arcs and natural letter shapes
- Live font preview - scroll through fonts on-the-fly as you type
- Recommended size range shown for every built-in font
- Filter the font list by type - embroidery, TrueType, block, serif, script and more
A font for every project.
The built-in font library covers every embroidery style - each font professionally hand-digitized for exceptional stitch quality at every size.
Block Fonts
Angle Block, Art Block, Helvetica, Swiss…
Clean, bold, and highly readable. Excellent for caps, jackets, and bags. One of the most versatile categories in the library.
Script Fonts
Edwardian Script, Ballantines, Book Script…
Flowing, elegant lettering from formal calligraphy styles to casual handwritten looks. Perfect for personalised gifts and decorative projects.
Serif Fonts
Bodoni, Athletica, Casual Serif, Copperplate…
Classic and refined. Serif fonts add a professional, traditional quality to monograms, corporate logos, and premium personalization.
Fancy Fonts
Curly, Comics, Charcuterie, Felt Tip, Flash…
Fun, decorative, and full of personality. Whether it's children's wear or creative wall art, these fonts add a distinctive touch.
Monogram Fonts
Fancy Monogram, Seal Monogram, Point Monogram…
Purpose-built for personalized monograms. Available in left, middle, and right versions for easy three-letter arrangement.
Run Stitch Fonts
Run Block, Run Script, Quilting Text…
Single-path outline fonts stitched as a run stitch. Low stitch count - ideal for quilting projects, fine fabrics, and small text.
Appliqué Fonts
College Appliqué
Large letter fonts designed for appliqué embroidery. Combines fabric letters with embroidered outlines for a classic varsity look.
Outline Fonts

Fluky, Swaddle, Racetrack, Endeavor, Mystic, Platinum, Orlando, Seagull, Addison, Catalan

Full control over layout, baseline, and style.
Hatch lettering gives you complete control over how text is placed, shaped, and styled - with tools that go far beyond simply typing a word onto a design.
Place lettering on any path.
Lettering doesn't have to run in a straight line. Choose from horizontal, vertical, circular arc, or digitize your own custom baseline curve. Hatch gives you interactive control over baseline length, radius, and angle - and you can change the baseline type at any time without retyping your text.
Fixed Line baseline automatically reduces letter size and spacing to fit a set width - perfect for cap and pocket production where space is tight.
- Free Line, Fixed Line, Vertical, Circle, Arc, and custom baselines
- Fixed Line auto-reduces lettering to fit a production-set width
- Change baseline type at any time without losing your text
- Left, right, centre, and full alignment options
Gallery presets that transform text instantly.
The Lettering Art gallery contains preset styles that warp and reshape your text for decorative effect - bulge, arch, wave, perspective, and more. Apply any style in one click, then adjust to taste. Works with any font on any baseline.
Lettering Art is especially powerful on Fixed Line baselines for badge and cap embroidery, where a shaped word mark creates strong visual impact.
- Gallery of preset styles - bulge, arch, wave, perspective, and more
- One-click application - change styles at any time
- Ideal for badge, cap, and patch production
- Works with every font in the library
Edit individual letters for creative control.
The Reshape tool lets you select individual letters within a lettering object and move them independently - up, down, left, or right. Go further and resize, rotate, or skew single characters to create unique artistic effects, without breaking the lettering object or losing font properties.
Flair Script adds decorative flourishes to the ends of text, mimicking calligraphy handwriting. The Insert Character dialog gives you access to the full character set of any font - including accented letters, symbols, and special characters.
- Reposition individual letters independently with the Reshape tool
- Resize, rotate, and skew single characters for artistic effects
- Flair Script font for decorative calligraphy flourishes
- Insert special characters and accented letters from any font
Use any font on your computer.
Every TrueType and OpenType font installed on your PC works directly inside Hatch Embroidery - alongside the built-in library. Filter the font list by type or style, and scroll through live previews on-the-fly before committing to a choice.
Native embroidery fonts give the best stitch results, but TrueType support gives you unlimited creative freedom when you need a specific look that isn't in the built-in library.
