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

In plain words

ZigZag is free, open-source embroidery software for Mac and Windows that converts SVG artwork into machine embroidery files. Users can edit stitches visually and create designs using AI agents through MCP integration. The software was built as an alternative to subscription-based embroidery machine software, offering full functionality without recurring fees.
