I really liked the latest update....the new quilting stitches are excellent! I have not used the IQ designer side of the machine much because I can digitize in my Floriani software quicker and with more options for the stitch tyspes offers in IQ. But the quilt stitches are fantastic!!!!
hopefully BL will add to the stitch selections besides the 2 or 3 that are in the machine now....better fills and the opportunity to adjust the satin stitch and better digitizing.
of course, the machine will not have full digitizing abilities in line with BL stand alone software or other brands of software, but for those that don't want to go the full digitizing road, these are great options.
