You will not be sorry with your embird. I only use that - never ever refer to the software that came with my machine. Iconizer is a MUST - but you have that. Depending on what you sew mostly, Font engine is also nice. You will be able to add verses, poems, names etc to your work. Enjoy embird - it is in my opinion the BEST.

Congrasts on Embird. You're going to love it. I'm learning to do some digitizing with mine.

I would say...play with what you have now, and you can upgrade later. I also have Studio for digitizing, and font engine. I had the more expensive software, and all I use now is Embird. I love it.

I have the basic, cross stitch and font engine...I love Embird, the best program for the money.

Hmmmm.... I thought there were more embird users out there :( ......I'd really like to know how the digi bit works with jpeg pics.. an anyone done it ???

Hi Kitty - I do not have Studio as I am not interested in digitising. I am sure that Mops will be able to advise you - have a chat to her about what embird can do. Good luck - embird is in my opinion the best value for money. I will also send you a PM.

A very wise choice. I have the font engine and the studio./Lillian

I don't have Studio yet. I have the basic and iconizer and think I will get the font part next.

Hi Kitty, I have basic Embird, Iconizer and Font engine, and I love them and use them all the time. I have just bought Studio but have not learnt how to use it yet. I need to make time to play with it. I have ideas I want to digitise but can't yet, hopefully in the not too distant future. Cheers, Bev.

I only have basic Embird and its Iconizer plug-in, but I do not know how I ever did machine embroidery without them!! I love Embird. Best value for the money!!
