How it works.

Three steps
01
Editor interface

Upload or draw

Drop in a photo, logo, or sketch. Or draw from scratch using our pen tool, shapes, and freehand tools.

02
Hoop with embroidery design

Choose a style

Pick from 10 auto-digitize algorithms. Adjust density, contrast, and thread color to match your vision.

03
Embroidery machine stitching

Export and sew

Download a DST, PES, JEF, VP3, or EXP file. Load it on your machine. Done.

Stitch patterns.

Single-color fills inspired by classic embroidery techniques. Sashiko, crosshatch, contour, scribble — pick a pattern, drop in an image.

A real digitizing editor.

Not a converter. A design tool with a stitch engine behind it. Draw paths, set fill types, preview stitches, adjust density — then export.

We make stuff.

In beta

A small group of artists, creator-tailors, and technical directors who like to make shit and fuck around / find out. We’re building the digitizing tool we wanted: lives in your browser, doesn’t gatekeep file formats, doesn’t make you sit through a tutorial before letting you draw a line.

bisect is in open beta. Stuff works. Some stuff is rough. Things we ship today, we sew on tomorrow.

Found a bug, want a feature, or sewed something cool? Tell us — dhodgins32@gmail.com
