I know of nothing for a MAC. I'm like you I won't contaminate my MAC with Bill Gate's Folly. I do have a separate PC that I use for EQ6 to design quilts and the software to run embroidery on my Bernina. I would recommend EQ6 highly with the exception of the cost, about $150. It's a very comprehensive program and if you search the board you'll find a boatload of information on the software.
