Embroidery Design Doodler

I love this program ,I have the other software and I’ve spent hours drawing and then stitching stuff out on my machine. Lots to learn so more fun to com

I've been using this app now for a couple weeks on a iPad with the latest software and my PC. I have had constant freeze up and shut down problems with this app. It started with just using the reshaping tool so I stopped using it and now it does it using the tapering tool. It’s very frustrating to spend time on a project just to have all of it lost because it freezes up, there definitely needs to be a change in the software. I have been troubleshooting with the representative and neither of us can figure out what is happening. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. It just seems to make it worse. As much as I love the potential for this app, I am at the point of hanging it up. I’m giving it two stars for the potential that it has and in the effort given to try and help figure things out but unless you save repeatedly after a couple of changes to your design, which is unrealistic, you lose everything the minute it shuts down on you.

I would love them to incorporate: pinch and zoom Palm rejection If you double click on what stitches you just made, have the stitch settings pop up I’d love a color picker for the thread Different hoops Export to embroidery format (I digitize on the go and would love to export it in the file my machine takes or save it without needing a computer) then I can use my usb from my iPad to my embroidery machine. Auto saver would be nice too. I was really hoping the updates would have this stuff but he’s focused on just the PC version and forgotten about the app. Hatch is what everyone already uses for the PC. I paid for it just because of the app 400 dollars mind you a couple of years ago hoping he would actually update it but it seems like it was just a money grab. I was so excited but yeah.

Was really looking forward to using this but the app will not load.

App will not load, it was a total waste of money. It crashes before you can even get it to load even with the update.

it isn’t obviously stated in the App Store that this app doesn’t actually work… I tried loading it/opening it multiple times and it will not work on my iPad Pro… useless.

Every time I try to load anything into this for John Deer’s tutorials, the app force closes. Can’t do the trial or play with the app at all. Guess I won’t be buying anytime soon if I can’t try it first!

It is so much fun!

I love this app! It is so easy to draw or trace and then watch your artwork sew out on your embroidery machine. Trace your child’s or grandchild’s artwork and sew it on something they can wear. They will be so proud to show their own work or, better yet, let them draw on the IPad and watch you sew it out for them. I recommend this app just for fun.

You can start off by making simple outlined designs or with a bit more work you can make appliqué designs or fill your designs in with stitches. I have yet to reach its limitations with my creations! I love how easy it is for my grandkids to use. They like to outline pics that I download to my computer for them, stitch them out on my embroidery machine, color them with inktense pencils, blend the colors with water or a medium, and then give to me to iron in order to make their colors permanent. The sky it the limit! They can make so many things out of their creations….pillows, birthday cards, coasters, book covers,…..and the list goes on! We are having so much fun creating our masterpieces in Design Doodler!
