Like all Wilcom products, WilcomWorkspace is built upon on Wilcom’s legendary stitch processing and ‘all-in-one’ EMB design file format.

What’s different about Wilcom’s ‘all-in-one’ EMB native file format?

Resize your EMB designs

With WilcomWorkspace you can resize your native EMB designs, maintaining all the fancy fills and stitch effects that the digitizer put in the original. WilcomWorkspace perfectly re-calculates stitches from original outlines — for guaranteed results.

How do ‘design’ files differ from ‘machine’ files?

Machine or ‘stitch’ files are low-level formats for direct use by embroidery machines. They contain only stitch coordinates and machine functions. These files are generally not suited to modification. Because the stitch count does not change, the density increases or decreases with design size. Thus you should not scale stitch designs by more than ±5% or some areas may be too thickly or too thinly covered.

Guarantee the quality of the final stitchout with EMB

Because EMB format combines original outlines (condensed data) with the full original stitch data, your customers will get the design exactly as you created it – complete with any fine-tuning stitch edits you may have included. And they can still resize the design from the original outlines if they want to – with guaranteed re-scaling. No confusion switching between multiple expanded and condensed files.

Read and convert many popular file formats

WilcomWorkspace lets you read existing designs of other formats so you don’t have to switch back and forth between different programs. WilcomWorkspace can read any of the popular embroidery machine formats, including Melco CND and EXP, Tajima DST, Barudan, Toyota, ZSK and Happy disks.

Make great sales presentations

Using WilcomWorkspace and EMB format designs, you can make great sales presentations of your designs. You can display and print designs in TrueView, with or without background fabrics. With the Colorway feature, you can also show the same design in different colors and on different fabrics. In effect, you can define multiple color schemes and switch between them.

Print out approval sheets

Using WilcomWorkspace, you can create your own production worksheet – even in color — and you don’t have to wait for faxed printouts from your supplier. All the color sequence information is saved in the EMB file, so you know it’s right. With the Colorway feature, you can print multiple colorways, design backgrounds, and icons of color blocks with the production worksheet.

Email your quotations directly

Send design quotes to your customer or partner embroidery company in the PDF format. Quotes can be directly output from WilcomWorkspace as email attachments and forwarded to your customer.
