Ok, it takes a bit for me to understand. I tried the sewlconz and my seven days are up. Didn't get to really try as I took my machine in for maintenance. I loved the icons to see designs. Will it also allow me to take fonts and make words or phrases. Whereas now I just guess on machine if they are lined up. Thank you . Susan

NO.
It is only to allow you to view your designs as Thumbnail (pictures) when browsing them in your folders, using Windows Explorer (NOT to be confused with Windows INTERNET Explorer!!!)

PLEASE ignore those posts confusing SEW WHAT PRO with SewIconz. Two totally different programs!!!!

Link to the Sew what Pro Program so you can read all about it.

Thank you , I will. I'm so bad about reading directions and instructions. I love to read just not that, but I will in order to understand. Everyone has helped a lot though. Susan

The Sew What pro Program will allow you to take already digitzed letters that you bought or got free and make words or phrases with them.
It now has a feature that helps line up the lettering.
It is an editing program that allows you to combine designs, add lettering to designs, resize designs, cut parts of a design out that you may not want or want to put with another design. It is a great program.

You can download the Program and Demo it for 30 days or 60 saves. Just make sure to download the Bit Version, 32 bit or 64 bit, that matches the your computer.

It is made by the same fellow that made SewIconz that is for viewing designs on your computer in picture format.

Well let me know, drives me crazy trying to figure whats best for the money. I'm not really a computer person either, I'm afraid of messing up and loosing everything. Thanks Susan

sew icons is not a digitising program it simply shows your designs in thunbprints so you do not have to open a file to see what is in it

That in itself is good and will love that, but may have to do like Carolyn and go a step farther also. Thank you , Susan

You don't need a digitzing program to use letters to make words.
You would need an editing program and use digitzed letters from Alphabets you bought or got free and put them together in an editing program.
