ISO Embroidery Software
I want to start embroidering my quilt labels and think it would be easier to create them on my laptop. I want more than one line of text, centered, a variety of fonts, ability to add symbols/icons and edit till I'm happy with it before transferring to the sewing machine. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced program?
It needs to work on a MacBook and save in multiple formats. My machine is a Janome MC11000.
Thanks in advance,
Connie

I have the basic Embird. I'm thinking of getting the fonts plug-in. For now I go to planet embroidery web site. You can type in the wording that you want to use. Like, Pattern name, made by, and dates. And any thing else I want to have on the label. I use Embird to edit and make the label as I want it to be.

I use this one. I don't have the most expensive one. I think it is Tru-E Studio. I am on a MacBook Pro.

Through the years I have purchased a number of programs from Husqvarna. They are always adding "some feature" that I simply have to have. I recently wanted to switch from Windows to a Mac laptop. Well, all the features I wanted were not available on Mac, so I upgraded to the "best" windows program and bought a new laptop, don't even get me started on windows 10! The upshot is...they just came out with a new version that works on windows or Mac. Geesh, I will not upgrade again!! If I had to do it over, I would find a program that I did not have to buy again, or again & again!!! I would find one the cost less. Or I would look into Floriani (maybe misspelled) I don't think you ever pay for upgrades there but they are pricey. My rant for the day!!!

The Floriani is good, but I bought it and then it changed as they split and they do give online upgrades, but they never sent a new instruction book, you have to rely on the online stuff. I personally don't like that I would rather have reference on hand and not have to go through a lot of online things to find what I need. I very seldom even use it and feel like I wasted 2500.00.
