Most home embroidery software treats text as an afterthought. Stitchwright starts there: names on jackets, monograms on towels, initials on gifts.

In previewFills finish one part of a letter before moving on, instead of sweeping row by row across the gaps. Set the fill angle yourself, and stitch length adapts to the letter size.
In previewStitchwright routes the needle along the letters to get from one part to the next, the way a 3D printer plans its travel. That means less trimming afterwards.
In previewSee how long a design will take before you hoop it, based on your machine's stitch speed. Set to 400 stitches per minute for a Brother PP1, or change it to match yours.
In previewA set of free, openly licensed fonts comes bundled, ready to stitch. No font packs to buy before you start.
