I've just bought a new software program for $5.00 and I want to share the info. It is being "test sold" by
www.bowsandclothes.com--an embroidery design site. It is the first program the guy owner has ever created. I am really enjoying playing with it. For merging fonts to write names or phrases, and even bringing in cute designs to merge with the words. It only saves in .pes, and only works with digitized fonts ( no TTFs)...but it is so easy to use and really affordable for some people. Oh, and 4" and 5x7 hoops are the limit. I've merged and saved, and now my creations are one file ready to stitch. At the site they have a link to a YouTube video demonstrating how it works. Really cute, and worth every penny. I'm liking it enough to push my PE design to the side.
