your machine should already have the border designs..you could add a sm. emb. from your built in patterens and then use a permenate marker for the writing....I have 3 Brother machines and they are older than yours and they have that feature...I have 3 different software programs and they are really IMHO too expensive for just making labels....but if you get one you would find yourself venturing out to other projects you probably never thought of....have fun !!!
