The Essential Embroidery Software For Any Creator.
Embroider, Embellish, Enjoy.

The Brother family of PE-DESIGN® software offers you more dimensions for enjoying embroidery and following your creative projects. Three levels of software give you design and editing capabilities that vary in complexity.

Whether you want to create embroidery designs from virtually any source, including the internet, photographs, drawings and clip art, or just want to download embroidery designs and do simple editing, there's a software level for you. Go ahead....play a little!

PE-DESIGN® Next – New!
PE-DESIGN® NEXT takes digitizing and embroidery to the next level of creativity with exceptional new features. A user-friendly graphical interface, similar to many software programs on the market today, makes it easy to locate and select the dynamic functions of this software. In addition, the quick access toolbar allows you to customize your favorite operations so they are only a quick click away. Several "Start Your Own Business" functions have been added such as the new PE-DESIGN® NEXT Link Function that allows up to four PR-1000 and upgraded PR-650 machines to be linked from a single computer with queue functionality. Other time savers are the lettering and design template feature, which provide the ability to create perfectly sized logos with lettering and designs, and the new Name Drop Template feature that can be used to create different names with the same design and layout. Many other exciting features such as enhanced lettering, more stitch and pattern variations and more built-in fonts have been added to make your digitizing and lettering projects a breeze.

Already own PE-DESIGN® versions 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 or 8.0? You can still enjoy all the new and enhanced features of PE-DESIGN® NEXT by easily upgrading your existing software with PE-DESIGN® NEXT Upgrade.
