Artwork
Choose SVG…
Drop an SVG anywhere on the page. Flat colors only: strokes 1–7 mm sew as satin, fills as tatami.
Letters and shapes you want sewn solid must have a fill — an outline alone is not sewn (outlines under 0.1 mm are skipped). For lettering: fill the letters and remove the outline before exporting.

Order across colors
any color, any order
Click a color in the preview to find it here. Satin sews each stroke of that color as a satin column (letters,
swashes); other shapes get a satin band along the outside edge (a number in the width box makes every piece a band that
wide); Fill sews it as tatami; Auto follows the settings above.
The arrows set the sewing order. Default order
