I would like to digitize some designs, but I need to get a digitizing program. Any suggestions on the best ones that don't cost thousands of dollars??? Just for home use.

I purchased Embroidery Magic 2, here's a free video:

There is also a Yahoo Group for EM2. Very informative.

Hope this helps,

Embird! It's reasomably cheap, easy to use, very versatile and quite a few Cuties use it, so you can ask for help anytime.

I have heard a lot of people like and use Embird. I have Janome's Digitizer Pro, very expensive, but I love it. Just remember there is a learning curve, don't get discouraged. Besides learning how to work your program, learn the basics of good digitizing from someone with good tutorials. I learned from Trevor Conquergood, and it really makes a big difference! Digitizing is a lot of fun, and the more you do the better you get at it. Best of luck to you, and welcome to Cute!!! Hugs, Marji
