Art and Stitch PLUS is our flagship product: user-friendly, affordable, vector-based digitizing software for longarm quilters and machine embroiderers.

Please visit https://artandstitch.com/ for more information.

Pre-Design Studio  was since 2001 our easy-to-use, vector-based drawing software to prepare your own artwork as start for your digitizing software, or to create your own pantos and quilt patterns for longarm quilters. The last (7th) version is Pre-Design Studio IV.

After 25 years of putting my heart and soul into it, it was time to retire the program.

Support of Pre-Design Studio IV will be continued until January 1, 2027.

CD-Books - video tutorials by Loes

Since 1996 I have created over 15 CDs with video tutorials for Brother's PE-Design / Babylock's Palette program and for the Bernina Artista Designer software.

The images below show part of the collection of CD-Books I created over the years. All CD-Books and CD-Booklets have been discontinued now. The last one left our building in December 2011. Yes, it's the end of an era....

QE-Pattern Finder - Catalog program with organizing and editing functions - made digitizing easier too. With QE-Pattern Finder you can view, search, and organize your embroidery designs, your longarm quilting patterns and your Pre-Design drawings. You can even do some editing and you can add text and monograms.

Our Stay @ Home Classes for Art and Stitch - your own Retreat at Home

Each class consists of several lessons, targeting to techniques that belong to each other. The Stay @ Home Class gave access to the videos for each lesson, plus a printable class handout describing the techniques shown in the videos and the original designs were included as well.
