The only software feature I did not try was the auto cross. It's suppose to take a digitized pattern and convert it to a cross stitch look. A machine cross stitching. There are four features to this software package, of the four I tried and was disappointed by three. So because I didn't try it I can't really speak on it. Looks like I'll be looking for a new machine. I have no regrets for ordering this machine. I do want to add that using the Singer designs this machine was 100% great. And again, I had no issues with the hardware, the machine.. My problem was with the software. So again, thank you for your interest and I hope someone found this to be helpful. Mona
