StitchFast / AI Embroidery

StitchFast: from file
to thread.

StitchFast logo

StitchFast, built by DadLink Technologies, is a browser-based AI embroidery digitiser that turns artwork into production-ready machine files in seconds. Stitch quality engineered for the needle, not the screen — so what looks right in the preview actually sews on the head.

01 / The Workflow

One upload.
Production-ready.

Drop in your artwork, get a machine-ready stitch file out — no specialist software, no file-conversion roundabout, no week of back-and-forth with a remote digitiser. Vector or raster in. Industry-standard formats out.

  • Wide input. PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI — vector and raster handled the same way.
  • Universal output. DST, PES, JEF, EXP, VP3, VIP — the formats your machine actually wants.
  • Live preview. See exactly what the machine will sew before you commit a metre of thread.
  • Project history. Every version saved, every revision recoverable, every export logged.

Stitches that hold.

A stitch file that "looks right" on screen often falls apart at the machine. StitchFast runs every job through a quality engine tuned by people who've watched embroidery thread snap, jump, and pucker — and know how to stop it.

  • Contour classification. Detects fills, satins, and outlines automatically — no manual region tagging.
  • Satin rescue. Rebuilds malformed satin paths into clean, machine-friendly columns.
  • Tunable cavity jump. Configurable down to 1.0mm so slot cuts render properly instead of vanishing.
  • Underlay generation. Stabilises every fill before the top stitches go down — no more puckering.
  • Pull compensation. Corrects for fabric stretch on the head so the design lands where it should.
