bernina embroidery software
I am about to buy myself the embroidery unit for the 430 and was wondering which software you all prefer and why ? they seem very expensive and not sure if I really need it. I do have artlink installed and I think I will get editor lite included in the package.
On bernina there seems to be two types of software one is called editor plus and the other designer plus. What is the difference between the two ?

I have a Husqvarna diamond and use the 4D software. I do use the software a lot. I do not know the software you are talking about, but get one that allows you to change, fix, add or take off a design. This way you can really customize any design.

The Bernina software is quite expensive. It is the only one I have used. It is wonderful. You can do most anything with it. Mine even includes a quilt pattern section. It includes a lot of embroidery and you can resize, monogram, appliqué digitize, etc.

I have a Bernina 440 and I still use my old, outdated Editor Lite! I also have Artlink (free from the Bernina Site) downloaded and sometimes use it but it doesn't have any lettering. I would find out before purchasing the embroidery unit which version of software you are getting and then find out if Bernina still supports that version. My Editor Lite is no longer supported and will not run on Windows 8 - so I keep XP loaded on my desktop computer just for embroidery. Also are you aware that you will have to run the software through your computer and download the designs to your sewing machine via a cable. Bernina 430 and 440 do not have usb slots.
