Mermaid - you are beyond amazing! You get my vote. I have found Stitch Buddy for MAC computers that has a free trial offer and is inexpensive if you purchase. The developer of the software lives in Germany, Matthias, is extremely detailed helpful. He is quick to respond after researching your sew machine with his software with what it will do and any limitations. Not affiliated - going to try this when I get a machine with computer or flash drive capable.
