I just bought mine today. Downloading and getting it to work was a PITA....BUT, I was able to download a layout I like and found I DO have enough of the oriental fabric I've had for months, to make that pattern. So far....I LOVE it! I've worked computer programs for years, and have used Paint a lot. Also have scanned tons of pictures...so this program was very easy for me. With one exception -- I KNOW I saved the layout and design...but darned if I can find it right now!!!!!
