I was wondering if anyone has used this software. I was looking at a Tin Lizzie at the Janome dealer, and he said he would throw it in, if I bought the whole deal. He also said it is to be used with the long arm machines, it does the emb and cutwork..I haven't found where it says to do it this way, it actually says to be used with any emb machine...

He said you can take any image and sew it out...jpg, whatever...interesting, it usually costs $999.99, but I found it online for $799.99...not sure if it is worth the trouble and expense though.
Also, does anyone know, if the dealer is suppose to charge for setup and classes after buying a long arm machine? He charges, but another dealer, an hour away, does not charge for set up or classes..
thanks for any help on this.

classes usually come with machine...like 3-6..where I have checked...

Also not sure the Artistic Suite has much to do with longarm quilting - mostly embroidery machines from the link you provided.

I wouldn't buy a longarm from anyone who didn't provide some classes and setup.
