I have an embroidery attachment for my machine and have really enjoyed playing with it. I would love to be able to make my own designs from clip art, etc. Can't afford the software that is available for my machine, but saw this on sale and thought it might look interesting and make a good present for Santa to bring.

Digitize 'N Stitch is about half way down page.

Have any of you used this program? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Have a great day!

The best software for the money in my opinion is Embird. I owned a commercial embroidery business for 15 yrs and used this for cataloging my designs. Had the really expensive digitizing software but I still used Embird today for smaller jobs.

Thanks, I will look into it. This software was on sale for about 1/2 price $139 so I thought I would ask.

What format does your embroidery machine use? You can tell by the 3 letters after the dot (example: you save it as "my sample" and you see it listed as "mysample.plt). I've just downloaded some clipart and put it in CorelDraw ($85.00 at Costco). I'll use that design in my digital quilting machine. Let me know and I'll see if it will work for you.

My Bernina takes PES, ART, EXP and a few others I can't remember...Thanks for the help.

Oh -- sorry, CorelDraw doesn't save to those formats...DANG!

What embroidery machine do you have? I can double check to see what other formats my machine can use.
