But I already noticed how consumer friendly this is. So if you don't hear from me, you know what I'm doing!

Don't know just why (as I probably don't have a clue) but next month after all of the craft stuff is over I am going to download the demo and see if I get it...sounds like fun but may take more brain power than I happen to have. Let us know how it goes.

Look at the tutorials Meganne mentioned, you'll get an idea of what you're getting in to. Every user I have spoken to so far is enthousiastic about it and I think you'll find it an excellent program too.

Embird is a great program. The iconizer and font plug-ins are cheap and work well. Especially the iconizer. In fact, I think it is one of the finest design programs for the price. I even wrote the business and thanked them for the product.

Question, does Embird Iconizer work outside of Embird? Can you look at Windows files and see the design? I've been testing SewIconz and it does what I'm explaining, but I'm also testing Embird and thinking products from the same line might work better together. BTW, I've told my husband that for my birthday right after Christmas, I want Embird!!

mops by mops 04 Dec 2008

Solosew, as far as I know you always need Embird Basic, the rest are add-ons, not freestanding programs. Peggy, the price was one of the reasons, it's indeed value for money. Have you had it for long?

Thank you, Marji. Forgetting to eat might be benefical, but my DH won't let me. I'll see what I can come up with as far as designs are concerned. *4U

YOU go Girl! It's so user friendly it almost hugs you! Have fun and remember I'm only an email away if you need anything, but you probably won't since you've already been digitising with other programs.

Don't forget to check out Clipartopolis University for free tutorials. though you probably know most of that stuff. You can also download the Embird tutorials from their website and install them in Embird where they act like help files, very handy for quick reference.
Hugs n roses, and night for now, M

I looked at all the Clipartopolis tutorials before I downloaded Embird. The ease of those Bezier nodes and the object panel were the things that let me decide to buy the program. And an acquaintance of mine happened to be the one who writes Embird lessons and tutorials in Dutch. Had a chat with her a week ago and that was the final push. Of course as soon as I know something and go on automatic pilot I left click where Embird has a RCl, but even so it's great fun.

meganne by meganne 04 Dec 2008

Oh Wow, you're home n hose as they say, having a friend like that. It's a great program and so reasonably priced compared to all those (Machine Brand) programs who put such terrible limitations on their software, dongles, n licences having to be transferred from pc to laptop if you need it there and back again when you need it on your pc, and only being able to to do two installs before needing to acquire a new code from the developer, then having to PROVE you purchased it by having the original CD case. N then getting no support when you need help with "Obvious" bugs in the prgram. That is what convinced me to purchase Embird, I worked in the software industry and I have trouble accepting what Digitising Software Developers subject their customers to, it's disgraceful. But not Embird, the Bulara family are fantastic people, because they were professional embroiderers first.
hugs n roses, M

I've had Husqvarna software for 9 years and the design stitch out well, but this is far more consumer friendly.

Thank you. You know what I like in this (and missed in my old) is that you can change the starting and endpoints, makes connections so uch easier.

manami by manami 04 Dec 2008

that is right, I like that too. I want to learn how to design FSL, it seems a dream right now.

Martine, congratulations - isn't that wonderful news - I am sure if you need a tester for your FSL - you can find one close by. Have lots of fun. Looking forward to some wonderful new projects showing your work.

I want to try and do some FSL, I have not done that with my old software, seems like a nice challenge.
