    Default ? for those that embroider...

    It's not me, but for a friend. She has a Brother machine & needs a program for converting designs to the pes format & then put on a thumb drive. Just wants something for doing that...something sorta inexpensive...just general...I know there are a couple that people have recommended that can be tried for a short time for free...can anyone help? She's a relative newbie in embroidery. Thanks.

    I have basic Embird. You can do lots of things with it. Has plenty add-on's for when she get's better. She should try some of the free trials to see what she likes and go from there. She should search for the free software, I know there is some out there.

    Yes, all free...also embroidermodder-- http://www.embroidermodder.com-about.com/
    Convert Embroidery formats with Tajima Pulse Ambassador FREE ...
    <cite style="FONT-STYLE: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto">http://www.wingssystems.com/index.php/products/myeditor/</cite>
    Just click on any. I love Pulse for reformatting--love My Editor for editing as well as converting. Embr-modder is a good program --have never experienced WilcomTrusizer, but a lot of people use it.

    I use Embird on my Dell and Embrillance on my MAC because Embird doesn't work on MAC without adding another program to run it.

    I got a laugh out of this! I use a needle and thread! Guess my age is showing again!
