Autopunch is a program you can buy. Basicaly it auto digitizes your pic. It makes an embroidery design from clean artwork. You sould use images save in WMF, bmp or jpg. Pic should have a high resoulation. The program reduces the colors so it is able to stitch the art in embroidery. I have used it 2 times with good results. Kathy just got it for her machine too. So you might want to pm her to see how she likes its.
