Alongside advanced manual digitizing and appliqué capabilities, Hatch 4 introduces exciting additions such as Multi Blend shading effects, Advanced Appliqué tools, wireless transfer support for compatible Brother embroidery machines, improved stitch visualisation, and enhanced export management. Enjoy professional-level editing, multi-hooping, sequencing, monogramming, lettering, resizing, recolouring, design organisation, and much more in one streamlined embroidery platform.

With Hatch Digitizer V4, creating professional-quality embroidery has never been easier. Experience true manual digitizing, convert artwork and photos into embroidery, create artistic redwork designs, combine and edit embroidery objects with greater flexibility, and take advantage of an extensive library of embroidery fonts, motifs, designs, and hoop options. Enhanced productivity tools, smarter interface controls, and improved stitch effects help make digitizing faster, more precise, and more creative than ever before.

New & improved features:

  • Multi Blend — Create advanced colour blends, shading, and layered stitch effects within a single editable embroidery object.
  • Advanced Appliqué — Generate open-object appliqué designs from existing embroidery objects for greater creative flexibility.
  • Continue Digitizing — Resume digitizing from an object’s entry or exit point without needing to start the object again.
  • Rectangle Corners — Easily create and adjust rounded rectangle corners with independent corner controls for greater precision and customisation.
  • Auto Start & End (IMPROVED) — Set custom start and end stitch points for the entire design with a redesigned, easier-to-use dialog. This helps position hoops more accurately on compatible embroidery machines and streamlines setup before stitching.
  • Design Explorer (IMPROVED) — Previously called Design Library, the updated Design Explorer offers a more intuitive way to browse, organise, and manage embroidery designs with a familiar file explorer-style layout.
  • Revert to Factory Settings (IMPROVED) — Quickly restore Hatch settings, templates, toolbar layouts, and even clear the web cache to help resolve loading or interface issues.
  • Trim & Connector Display (IMPROVED) — Preview trims, tie-ins, tie-offs, and connecting stitches more clearly before stitching. Improved visibility makes it easier to inspect designs and reduce unnecessary thread movement.
  • Display Colours (IMPROVED) — Greater control over interface and stitch display colours, including guides, snap points, grids, and function symbols, helping improve visibility across different colourways and backgrounds.
  • Gradient Fill Effects (IMPROVED) — Create advanced shading and gradient-style embroidery effects with improved fill profiles and smoother stitch transitions for more artistic and dimensional results.
  • Wireless Connection for Brother Machines (NEW) — Send embroidery designs directly to compatible Brother embroidery machines over Wi-Fi without needing USB drives, creating a faster and more seamless workflow.
  • Appliqué Pattern Printing (IMPROVED) — Print appliqué templates either mirrored or as digitized for easier fabric placement and more accurate cutting preparation.
  • Exports Docker (NEW) — Monitor export and machine file conversion progress in real time with the new Exports Docker, allowing background exporting while you continue working.
  • New Embroidery Fonts — Hatch 4 expands the built-in font collection with additional embroidery-ready fonts, including the new Run Dainty Script font for elegant script lettering.
  • Improved Fonts — Several existing fonts have been updated for improved stitch quality, cleaner lettering, and better embroidery results across a wider range of applications.
  • New Motif Sets — New decorative motif collections including Animals, Baby, and Christmas expand creative options for borders, ornamental stitching, and appliqué-style designs.
  • New Design Inclusions — Additional ready-to-use embroidery designs and outline collections have been added across multiple themed folders for inspiration and project creation.
  • New Hoops — Hatch 4 now includes the complete Mighty Hoop range along with additional SmithStitch hoop support, making hoop selection and design setup more flexible for commercial embroidery users.
