I moved the embroidermodder2.exe to the $(TARGET)/bin directory and ran a batch 
file with the following contents (modified from test-qt5.bat):

set PATH=..\lib;..\qt5\bin;..\qt5\lib;%PATH%
set QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=..\qt5\plugins
embroidermodder2.exe

I recall reading that there is a default search path for the platform plugin 
directory that is relative to the executable, but can find the reference.

This is personal preference, but I would really recommend you get the static 
builds working - shared builds are a world of pain and should be avoided unless 
there is some deep technical reason to use them.

Cheers,

Tony
