I've been looking for awhile now for a free, unlimited, easy to learn software. And I found it. Sierra's Stitch Era, you can find it at www.stitchera.com. I've work a few patterns now using this software and I'm very happy with it so far. I've tried several and this one not only works well, it's easy to learn. You can down load it from a dealer's website but if you order the free disk (pay for shipping) you'll get the software plus training videos and printable lessons.

Just wanted to share.

thanks for the information!

I have been using Stitch Era Universal for a few months now and I can tell you it is a g-r-e-a-t program.

You just need to ready the manual, watch the training videos and play with it.

I love it. Very powerful and absolutely free. They have a yahoo group and if you need help, they promptly answer your questions.

I forgot to mention. It also digitizes!!

Thank you :D:D:D

Thank you

I got this software a couple months back. I guess I need to put it on the computer and try it out!

I went there and could not find anywhere to get the software. the one page for puchase reads to get from local dealer. What am I missing?

I goggled and found more sites to get it from free by downloading. Then all the tutes and more are on the site for download or whatever.

Wait I am wrong, it is for Visual Stitch and Print. Still can't find the software.
