The embroidery app you've been waiting for.
No more juggling desktop software, USB drives, and screenshot approvals. Bobbin puts your whole embroidery workflow on the iPad in your hands — design, approve, and send to your machine without ever sitting down at a computer.
Free tier available · No credit card · One launch email
Design together, from anywhere.
Share a live canvas with friends, clients, or your team. They see every change in real time — no screen-sharing, no back-and-forth photo texting. Just open a link and create together.
Turn any image into a stitch-ready design.
No manual digitizing. No expensive outsourcing. Snap a photo of a drawing, upload a logo, or sketch on your iPad — Bobbin converts it into a clean embroidery file that understands fabric, density, and stitch types.
Your craft goes where you go.
Whether you're stitching for yourself or for clients, Bobbin is built iPad-first — not ported from desktop. Every interaction is designed for touch, pencil, and the way you actually live.
Apple Pencil
Draw directly on your design with pressure sensitivity. Trace, edit stitch paths, hand-letter — the Pencil feels like a natural extension of your craft.
iCloud Sync
Start on your iPad at home, check thread inventory on your iPhone at the store, finish editing on the couch. Everything stays in sync, automatically.
Take your craft anywhere.
Bobbin fits into your life, not the other way around.
Two finicky things, made simple.
Built-in tools that used to require workarounds, expensive add-ons, or a lot of fussy clicking.
Groundwork — clean stitches on textured fabric
Embroider on towels, fleece, and knits without the nap poking through. Groundwork automatically lays down a knockdown underlay that flattens the surface before your design goes down — so every stitch lands clean. One tap, no manual underlay setup.
Bobbin Fonts
Just type and stitch. Bobbin Fonts (BBF) are designed to be embroidered from the ground up — not converted from desktop fonts. Type any word from your keyboard and it's instantly rendered as stitch-ready lettering. No character maps, no fussy placement. Just beautiful type.
Experiment freely. You can always go back.
Every change you make is saved automatically. Try a wild color swap, resize everything, rearrange the whole layout — if it doesn't work, tap back to where you were. No more saving "FINAL_v3_actual.pes" every time you want to try something.
See your design on the actual item before you stitch.
Point your iPad camera at the onesie, the tote, the jacket — and see your design projected right on it. Move it, resize it, check the placement. No guesswork, no ruined stitchouts.
Be among the first to stitch with Bobbin.
