DecoStudio e3 is an all-in-one graphics and embroidery software solution for creating brilliant multi-decoration designs, visualizing them on screen and automating the design digitizing process to effortlessly reproduce your concepts on real-world objects. Regardless of your skill level, DecoStudio e3 will help transform your ideas into professional-quality results. From vector to embroidery and appliqué designs, everything will be a cinch!
It’s your business. Choose the Elements you need. Add as your grow.
The DecoStudio e3 base product includes all the tools needed to get started. When you need more specific capabilities, simply add Elements. Add one, some or all of them. That way you only pay for what you need.
In one click, DecoStudio converts any vector shape into production ready embroidery, appliqué or bling designs. You’re then free to edit and enhance as desired. If you prefer, you can also digitize your own embroidery designs using manual tools. For bitmap graphics, use CorelDRAW’s tracing features to convert bitmaps to vector graphics first.
With CorelDRAW integration, the options are endless for creating brilliant, all-purpose designs. Create designs layered with print, embroidery, appliqué, and rhinestones and export them to the required file formats for production.
Wilcom is famous for quality lettering. Use any of the 150 pre-digitised fonts for speed, precision and no thread breaks! You can also convert any True Type fonts with ease. You've got a lot of control, including font color, scaling, font style, straight text or curved, stitch sequence and more. Monograms are easy with DecoStudio – choose a style, add borders and motifs for quick personalized giftware.
Have the best-practice embroidery settings for underlay, pull compensation and stitch density settings automatically applied based on your chosen fabric. Whether you're working with fleece, pique or cotton, the stitching is automatically adjusted to suit.
DecoStudio provides you with true object-based editing to refine embroidery designs as needed. Edit embroidery in the same way you adjust vector files, change color sequencing, stitch types and remove small stitches automatically. Additional features such as the Knife tool makes splitting embroidered shapes into separate pieces a cinch.
Choose from more than 50 product templates to help preview and share your vision of how designs will appear on different garments. Not only are these worksheets useful for the production team, but you can also create an associated Approval sheet, containing a visualization of your design on garment, to better inform your clients and help speed up the approval process.
Create striking appliqué designs with DecoStudio. Simply tag the vector image you want and the Auto Applique tool automatically builds the tack-down, base and finishing stitches your machine requires. You can now also visualize the finished effect by previewing the actual fabric you have selected for the appliqué.

"Great Program - I'm just new to this and even I can use it!" Claire Blais, Canada - Oct, 2011
"The software is very user friendly and much easier to use than some of the other programs that I have tried. It is a good feeling to know that there are folks that are ready to help whenever you need them." M. Chastain
"DecoStudio is great and I am now able to digitize artwork so quickly that I am getting new jobs right and left. This is my third digitizing program and I have been embroidering for over eight years, buying this software was the best decision I have made." R. Mitchell
"The software [DecoStudio] is incredible and well worth the investment. It has already helped lay a solid foundation for building that section of my small business. To anyone asking my opinion as to whether or not to attend the [free training] class, the answer is a definite yes. I will definitely be attending more, if available,in the future. Thank you!" J. Pipkin
"Thanks again for everything. I had learned everything I needed during the 3 days of class. Being that I had prior embroidery experience I was able to hit the ground running, but I also noticed that the people with less experience were picking it up pretty easy as well. The technicians were well experienced , extremely helpful not to mention they were really good people. I will surely recommend the DecoStudio program to my peers. Thanks again for the hospitality and going above and beyond." P. Braun
"DecoStudio has helped us to offer a service that no other gift store in Seattle is doing. We do a lot of lettering and monogramming, so we use both of those features quite a bit. The one time I had to contact your support department, the experience was wonderful. We have taken advantage of the online training classes and they were very helpful. We also attended the in-house training as we wanted to learn how to use all of the features of our software. Our expectations were met – the class was very helpful and worth the money it took to travel to Atlanta from Seattle. We would rate Wilcom 5 out of 5 for the entire experience." M.Thomas
