Digitizing programs can be expensive.. it is best to have some lessons also... I downloaded Embird free demo and haven't figured I out yet and I have used Janome, Brother and Viking programs ... probably like Janome best. Wish I could figure out Embird.. it is cheapest ... even tho I have others there may be something different that I would use on Embird. Need to read tutorials and see what I can figure out before I buy it. Floriana has a professional program my friend bought ON SALE FOR OVER $2000! and it is just for toy( like me) not to make $$$ . COME ON LOTTO!!! lol
