$669?
seriously?
BES4 was included when i bought my dream machine 2.
didn't look interesting enough to even install on my computer.
it gathered dust for a year.
so i installed it out of curiosity after seeing this thread.
the included designs are [to me] "ho hum."
there's a decent collection of fonts but nothing that justifies any of the prices i've seen here.
as far as i can tell you are limited lettering. i didn't see anything that lets you draw your own from-scratch non-letter designs.
i might be rushing to judgement but i am not impressed.
for that price, can't one find full-blown embroidery creation/design software?
(seriously ... i don't know.)
