Vectorizers can translate a bitmap image to vector formats.Software to create designs for 'manual' embroidery.Roughly speaking, we can distinguish between several types of software, although sometimes the frontiers are blurred, so you also can consider the following as list of modules that your software should have. From embroidery objects one can generated stitches that then can be exported to proprietary machine (stitch) formats that can uploaded to an embroidery machine. These objects can be created directly through technical drawing or be translated (digitized) from vector drawings. Typical embroidery software allows to create embroidery design files that define parametrized embroidery objects such as lines, sating columns or fill areas.
