Hi Mopec, if you are on Facebook, you can join groups regarding embroidery. I don't know what embroidery machine you have. Here are some of the groups I am involved in and what a wealth of information, there isn't any end to it lol.
I'm assuming that you own a Viking, but not sure...On youtube there is a wealth of infomation about this software and I'm betting in one of the videos, they mention what kind of cutting machine to use...On Facebook, OML embroidery and youtube, will probably be able to guide you...Sue and Don are the one's who own this business. I think I'm involved in over 16 different embroidery sites. Here is what came up when I typed in your software on you tube https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...dery+software+
This might help also, even if it is a upgrade from your software,

Oh my thank you btiny. Yes I have the Husqvarna Viking Epic and the Diamond and the Premier +2 embroidery software. I can create applique in Premier but want to tie all of this together with a scan and cut. I'm getting ready for a family reunion here, but will look up all of your suggestions later. Thank you so much. I thought I had decided the scan n cut dx might be what I wanted, that was until I saw the price! I believe from what I've read the mat problem has been solved. I don't see that I can order it on line either.
