They were giving super buys on the products to those that were there. Since I already have software and a stash of stabilizer I resisted the purchases. However, I couldn't resist one roll to try. If I didn't have 4D software it would have been very tempting! No dongle and no cost for upgrades ever!

I have a free software for looking and printing designs from them but not the full software. He was in my town a couple of weeks ago but I did not get to go to see him. I do use Floriani stabilizers and love them - do agree they are more expensive than some others though.

Haven't tried it, but Mr Floriani is an embroidery guru so I expect that he would have tried other software before he decided he could make a better product.

I have friends who took classes on it and loved it. They would take more if they were offered.
