Anyone considering purchasing a digitizing program should consider Embird. It is as inexpensive as they get and when I was considering purchasing digitizing software I joined several different Yahoo groups. I was contacted privately by two different digitizers over a couple of months that were professionals. One of them told me that her work provides her with several different professional programs yet her go to program of choice was Embird. The nice thing is that you can digitize and it will save your design in any format so it is not just for one brand of machine. Also modules can be purchased individually so you don't have to purchase software that you may never use. I am not affiliated with Embird in any way other than being a happy user who is still trying to learn digitizing and glad I didn't spend big bucks to do it. Ann in TN
