One of the biggest features, one I was especially interested in was the ability to digitize a photo. Every photo I worked only asked for the primary colors. I'm thinking the software used the primary colors to stitch and color by mixing the threads. It doesn't work. This is a photo of my FIL who passed just days before. If this had worked I had thought to make a gift of it to my MIL. But ask you can see the final results are less then expected. Though I have to say at a distance it can be seen better, but still not enough to continue working with the machine.
