There are other embroidery software programs that also allow you to save a cut file. Both PNG and SVG files can be used in Cricut Design Space. Chroma Luxe (the paid upgrade version) allows you to save as an SVG file. However, Chroma Software, the free embroidery software that comes with any Ricoma machine, actually has a feature built right in to make a PNG file out of any embroidery design.
So, how does this all work? Many applique designs give you the SVG and/or png with their designs. This cutie patootie design came from Planet Applique. In today’s video tutorial I am going to show you how I created this fun applique bib without using a single pair of scissors (to cut fabric). Did you know you can use your Cricut, Silhouette, Brother Scan N Cut to create the applique pieces for your machine embroidery designs? You can!
