Artspira is a living tool that we are constantly improving and expanding to offer users even more creative possibilities. We are committed to empowering users to create outside-the-box designs and will adapt Artspira to build on our promise to evolve with you at our side.

Skitch was built to introduce embroidery to beginners. With a low barrier of entry into embroidery, we’ve brought some high end technology to the masses with the ability to use a free arm, and with the addition of partnering with Artspira+, you can test out digitizing your own embroidery designs and so much more. While these tools are not meant to replace intermediate or expert level tools, these allow beginners to do even more than traditional beginner-friendly embroidery machines to get their feet wet before diving into a larger investment model.
