Don't assume you can use the Disney card on a non-Disney machine.....BUT there are some really good sites with individual Disney designs you can buy that are as good or better. Google Disney embroidery designs any you will find them. My favorite is in Russia but is reputable and has awesome quality. PM me and I'll give you the site.

Check Craftsy; I'm taking a digitizing class right now. I get my classes when they are on sale. I just did my first digitizing design, by myself and was so amazed when it stitched out beautifully. I loved the Happy Daisy quilt on here but wanted to do the applique in the hoop and use my Brother Scan n Cut to cut the fabric. Well, i've gotten the digitizing done to where it'll stitch out but still want to make it also an applique. I'm not sure after seeing it stitched if I want appliqued anymore but I still want to do it so that I know that I can. I have 5D Pro and it makes things easier.
My problem is, I don't do it every day and tend to forget inbetween sessions. But I love 5D Pro, and now there is 6D. Oh my!

I have the 5D Pro as well. Took the initial classes offered at the shop where I bought it, and also bought the DVD which is great. It goes through just about everything. I also found mrpatience.com and have gone through his tutorials which helps me better understand the books and DVD. Digitizing is a very time consuming thing, and can be quite frustrating but also very gratifying when something works out the way I want it to. I also have a much greater appreciation for the pros!

i have the singer futura xl550. sews like a dream love it. embroidery part i HATE it. all ways knotting up on the underside or getting a hoop size era. and have to take the hoop off and put it back on and this is with using the right size hoop for the design and it telling me im not. i've also been throw a few brother embroidery/sewing machines and everyone was bad right out of the box. i just have bad luck with embroidery machines. the futura is a great SEWING machine but not embroidery. wish i had been able to fine a dealer for singer. but could not so we ordered it from sewingmachinesplus.com will never do that again. a friend of my had the xl 400 and loved it and that is what i ordered but the company had a problem and subbed the newer xl 550. and we had to go back and forth with the company for 2 months before we got every thing we ordered.

For digitizing, does the sotware need to be machine specific?
Also, the hoops, are they machine specific?

Hoops are normally machine specific. I have a Viking #1 and event though alot of the feet work on my Diamond Deluxe the Hoops don't work. Also some machines will only do a certain size, like a 4x4, my largest hoop is around 14in, plus it has a couple of endless hoops that are great. My machine will take most of the hoops from the last say 4 machines at least that Viking has made. The put thiers into number categories, like the #1 is in catagory 1 and the Diamond is in 7, then when you look at things you check the number to see if it is compatible with your machine category, alot of the things in 1 are also avaiable in 7 but not all. Like my walking foot for the 1 won't work in the 7. Same goes with hoops.

I have one that came with my 11000se but never use it. I wish they would come out with a 11sq inch to quilt 12 inch sqs o well they just want you to buy the newer machines when they come out with bigger hoops. Gale
