How do I digitize a design. I have Embird2010. Yolandita

You can't digitize unless you have Embird Studio. If you just downloaded the standard Embird, then you have to pay for the studio version. This is another $100.00. All dig. programs seem quite expensive to me.

Have you any knowledge of the programme? If not, answering such a broad question is very difficult.
Have you downloaded the tutorial? It helps a lot.

And there are a number of tutorials on Clipartopolis. I can highly recommend those. That''s how I started.
Follow the balloon ones to start with. If you can use two computers side by side so much the better. Start Studio on one and follow the video's step by step on #2, using 'pause' as often as needed. If you have only one computer do the same but you have to switch between the video and studio; you can adjust both to fit the screen side by side, but full screen is easier.

This way you'll get to know a couple of tools and how to set nodes along your picture. And then you can ask specific questions here.
