Yes, yes and yes to your questions. And I'm not the only one here.

I love it - I wasn't sure about the cost but now I realise that it was well worth it! My better half might not agree as it takes up a lot of my time....

Definately the best bang for your buck. The nice thing about it I think, is that you can buy it in stages. So as you progress you can add more features. I used to work in a commercial embroidery shop and Embird was entirely capable of doing everything the expensive software could and sometimes more. Resized many a design with Embird instead of the big buck software-$6000.00. I love it and there is lots of free tutorials and yahoo groups for help.

Very much so, I would be lost without my embird and it is well worth the money./Lillian

Thank you all.... that's very reassuring. I was hoping for positives, as I like what I've seen so far.... I'm very excited about getting more into it IYKWIM ♥

I love embird, I wouldn't use anything else♥

Yes, Embird is well worth the money, I have just bought the studio module to add to my basic and will be seeking help along with you. Where in Oz are you, I'm in Canberra. Bev.
