PE-Design 11 is what turns a logo into stitches. Brother's digitising and design software takes artwork — a customer's logo, a photo, your own drawing — and converts it into an embroidery file your machine can run.
Who this is for
Embroidery businesses taking customer artwork and needing to stitch it accurately.
Anyone quoting on corporate logos — you cannot do that work without digitising.
Serious hobbyists who have run out of built-in designs.

Support & training
Training on digitising is available through our partner Brother & Empisal Machines CC in Durban. Digitising is a real skill — the software will not teach you stitch density, and getting that wrong is why logos pucker.

Questions people ask
Do I need it? If you only stitch built-in designs or files people send you, no. The moment a customer sends you a logo, yes.
Will auto-digitise do the job? For simple, clean artwork often yes. For detailed logos, small text or tricky fabrics, you will want manual control — which is exactly what you are paying for.
Which machines does it work with? Brother home and professional embroidery machines. Tell us your model and we will confirm before you order.
