The Beh.Stitched window: tools on the left, hoop on the canvas in the middle, settings on the right.

Feature highlights

From picture to stitches

Load an image, split it into colour areas automatically, pick a stitch type per area.

Ten fill patterns

From tatami and meander to herringbone, plus satin and four running-stitch kinds.

Larger than the hoop

Multi-hooping splits large designs across several frames, with registration marks to line them up.

Also an embroidery-file editor

Open finished embroidery files, change colours and order, split or merge areas.

Lettering and your own fonts

Lettering as satin or fill, with your own fonts, along a path if you want.

Appliqué and patches

Appliqué with STOP commands, patches repeated on a grid.

Download

Without a licence you can try the whole program; only export needs a licence, machine files as well as SVG and DXF.

No account, no cloud, no usage analysis: Beh.Stitched calculates entirely on your device. Your designs do not leave it. The program goes online only to confirm the licence from time to time.

And on the iPad?

Beh.Stitched is on the iPad in the App Store. Drawing and preview work without a purchase; you buy export in the app as a personal or commercial licence. That purchase runs only on iPads, not on Windows or Mac.

Requires iPadOS 15 or later.

Open in the App Store

Which format your machine expects is in its manual. Always test a new file on a scrap first.

What changed in each release is in the version history (German).

Buy

Buy once, use the version you bought, with no running licence fee. Without a licence you can try the whole program; only export needs a licence, machine files as well as SVG and DXF.

The buttons below are for Windows and Mac only. The key you get there cannot be entered on the iPad. For the iPad you buy separately in the app through the App Store; that licence does not run on Windows or Mac. The two purchases are separate and not interchangeable. Open in the App Store

Buy personal licence 79 € Buy commercial licence 239 €

Prices include VAT. One-time purchase, no subscription, no follow-on fees.

The purchase on this page runs through Digistore24 (Digistore24 GmbH, Hildesheim) and is for Windows and Mac only. You get the invoice and licence key there. On the order form the two licences are called “Beh.Stitched Private” and “Beh.Stitched Business”. Enter the key in the desktop software under “Licence”. info@behpunktdesign.de

  • Personal licence on up to three devices, commercial licence on up to five, each within the same platform (Windows and Mac together, iPad on its own). You are commercial as soon as you earn money from the embroidery files or from goods embroidered with them.
  • Money-back: tell us within 14 days of purchase, full refund, no reason needed, once per customer.
What the licence actually covers
  • The personal licence is for private use and can be active on up to three devices at once; the commercial licence on up to five. The device count is per purchase: the Digistore purchase counts Windows and Mac devices, the App Store purchase counts iPads.
  • The embroidery files you create belong to you alone, with no credit obligation and no share of proceeds. Project files can move between Windows, Mac and iPad; the licence itself cannot.
  • On the iPad you buy the personal and commercial licences as in-app purchases in the App Store. There is no Digistore key there, and an App Store purchase cannot be redeemed on Windows or Mac.
  • The licence is confirmed online from time to time. Without a connection you keep working normally for a month; only then does export pause until confirmation succeeds again. Everything else and your designs are never affected.
  • On the refund: it applies worldwide and once per customer. With the refund the licence ends; embroidery files you already made stay yours. Your statutory rights stay untouched and cost you nothing. For an App Store purchase Apple handles the refund.

The licence terms apply.
