Mine wouldn't work and I was told they don't support 3D any more and needed to update to 4D which would cost me another $1500.00 on top of the $2800.00 I originally paid for the software.I also had extras which came to another $1000.00. Now that there is 5D out, I am not interested in constantly paying that sort of money every few years just to keep the embroidery going, especially when they also have all the copyright nonsense on selling anything you make with it. I traded it in on an ordinary sewing machine which I can afford to replace every now and again.
