Embird is wonderful. I have had it for over 10 years and used it thru several machines. The edit features are well worth the money. As far as how to organize designs..I have been doing machine emb for over 15 years and I have have an incredible collection. At first I tried sorting them by type of designs..that didn't work for me so I now sort them by site. IF I know that I'm going to need something right away I put it in a folder that I named "Project". You will find what works for you and your style.
