If you own a Brother Skitch, this sends designs to it over Bluetooth with no vendor app, and it exports PES or DST for most other machines as well.
ZigZag is a desktop embroidery editor written in Rust. You bring SVG artwork, it lays out the stitches, and you adjust them before exporting to PES, DST, EXP, JEF or VP3. For the Brother Skitch PP1 it goes further: the maker reverse engineered the machine's Bluetooth protocol, so designs upload directly. A built-in MCP server lets AI agents draft and edit designs. Ready-made builds exist for Mac and Windows; Linux builds from source. Some readers felt earlier work such as Respira deserved more credit.
