Floriani Embroidery Software at Linda's Electric Quilters
Floriani produces a family of embroidery digitizing and design software products from RNK Distributing. These titles extend and complement the Floriani Total Control and Fusion platforms covered in the quilting software guide. Matching hardware-side consumables live in the Floriani stabilizer guide and Floriani thread guide.
Floriani Fusion Software
Floriani Fusion is a standalone embroidery digitizing platform -- a complete design creation environment for machine embroidery. Fusion enables digitizing from scratch, editing existing designs, combining design elements, and preparing designs for machine output. The professional-level choice for embroidery studios that need full digitizing capability beyond design management.
Sketch a Stitch -- FTCU/Fusion Add-On
Sketch a Stitch is an add-on module that integrates with Floriani Total Control U or Fusion -- it allows freehand drawing of embroidery paths directly within the software, converting sketched lines into embroidery stitch paths. Particularly useful for creating custom outline designs and custom lettering paths. The add-on approach means it enhances an existing Floriani installation without requiring a separate platform purchase.
Lettering Master -- FTCU/Fusion Add-On
Lettering Master adds an expanded font and lettering engine to the Floriani Total Control U or Fusion platform -- providing access to a broader typeface library, enhanced spacing controls, and advanced lettering layout tools for monogramming and text-heavy embroidery work. A valuable add-on for studios that do significant monogramming or personalisation work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Design management vs digitizing — what's the real difference?
Management software organizes, resizes, and converts existing designs; digitizing software like Fusion creates them — turning artwork into stitch paths with full control of stitch types, densities, and sequencing. Studios selling custom embroidery need digitizing; hobbyists running purchased designs usually don't.
Why buy add-ons instead of a bigger platform?
Targeted capability at fraction cost — Sketch a Stitch and Lettering Master bolt onto an existing FTCU or Fusion installation, adding exactly the freehand-path or monogram engine a studio's work demands without repurchasing the whole environment. Confirm platform compatibility before buying any add-on.
What makes monogramming worth a dedicated lettering engine?
Volume economics — personalisation is the highest-margin embroidery service, and a proper lettering engine's spacing controls and typeface depth turn each monogram from a manual layout job into a minute of setup. Studios doing names on quilts, towels, and gifts recoup Lettering Master quickly.
