I paid $300 for software, and don't use it. It's too complicated. I get most of my embroidery designs from EmbLibrary.com or designsbysick.com (I bought a lifetime membership to this site, and can get all designs for free). Embroidery Library has sales all the time, and their designs are beautiful.
I hope you love your embroidery machine as much as I love my Janome 350!
