Embroidery shop software that prices by stitch count

Quote an embroidery job the minute its file comes in, priced from the stitch count. Itemstores carries the thread colors all the way to your crew.

The stitch file does the work

Your embroidery file sets the price and feeds the work order your crew runs.

  • The file quotes itself

    Nobody opens the file to count stitches before a quote goes out. We read the count and price it from your grid, one location at a time.

  • New thread, same design

    You assign a PMS thread color to each color step in the file. Recolor the threads for dark garments without sending the design back to your digitizer.

  • The right blue, every time

    Your crew sees every thread color on the work order in their hands. Nobody walks back to the office to ask which blue.

Frequently asked questions

How do I price embroidery by stitch count?

Add an embroidery upcharge rule, a grid of quantity by stitch count. Itemstores reads the stitch count from the artwork's embroidery file and charges each embroidered location separately.

Which embroidery file formats does Itemstores read?

Only .dst. Other formats like .pes or .emb aren't read. Export a .dst from your digitizing software instead. Without one, the embroidery upcharge rule doesn't apply to that product.

Can I change thread colors without re-digitizing?

Yes. Recolor threads makes a new colorway with different PMS thread colors from the same embroidery file. Change a colorway's threads later and every product using it is re-rendered.

Do thread colors show on the work order?

Yes. The printed work order shows the thread colors for each embroidered artwork, beside the sizes and placements for the run.

Can one product have both embroidery and screen printing?

Yes. Each placement is priced by its own method. An embroidered chest counts toward your stitch grid and a screen-printed back toward your ink grid.
