About the project
Free Rust-based machine embroidery editor for Mac and Windows: turns SVG artwork into stitches, lets you edit designs visually, and exports to PES, DST, EXP, JEF, VP3 or sends to a Brother Skitch over Bluetooth. Supports MCP so AI agents can create and edit designs.
Useful for
- Convert an SVG logo into a PES embroidery file for a home machine
- Tune satin, tatami fill and underlay for dense shape coverage
- Send a finished design to a Brother Skitch over Bluetooth from the editor

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 14, 2026, 10:41 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–10:32: 607 → 656 stars (+49). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +160 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 1 per day.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- The repository is 15 days old and already has 656 stars.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: My $300 embroidery machine needed a subscription, so I built my own app” — 724 points, 1 day ago.
- About 12 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 595. +5309% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
