How it works.

Three steps

Upload or draw

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

Digitize it

Auto-trace an image into editable paths, then set satin borders, fills, and thread colors per shape — with a live stitch preview as you go.

Export and sew

Check the stitch simulation, export a PES or DST file, and load it on your machine.

Stitch patterns.

Single-color fills inspired by classic embroidery techniques. Tatami, satin, spiral, drift — pick a fill, apply it to any shape.

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.

PES

DST

bisect exports PES — Brother and Baby Lock’s native format, which we’ve verified on real hardware — and DST, the universal Tajima format that most commercial machines read. Pick PES for a compatible Brother or Baby Lock; DST for many commercial and multi-brand workflows. Always confirm the format your machine accepts.

JEF (Janome), VP3 (Husqvarna / Pfaff) and EXP (Bernina / Melco) are on the way — each ships once it’s tested on a real machine.

We make stuff.

In beta

A small group of artists, creator-tailors, and technical directors who like to make things, break them, and find out how they should work. 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.
