ZigZag - Open-source embroidery software with AI agent support

Show HN: My $300 embroidery machine needed a subscription, so I built my own app

ZigZag is a free, open-source embroidery editor built in Rust that turns SVG artwork into machine stitches. It supports PES, DST, EXP, JEF, and VP3 formats, and can send designs directly to a Brother Skitch via Bluetooth. The visual editor offers Illustrator-style pen and shape tools, smart guides, and advanced stitch types like satin, fill, and appliqué. With built-in MCP support, AI agents can create and edit designs alongside you. Available for Mac and Windows, ZigZag eliminates subscription fees and gives you full control over your embroidery workflow.
