I use Janome Digitizer Pro, so I don't know the program you're using, but I'm hoping someone of the Cuties who does know will come along and give you some information. Good luck, and welcome to Cute! Marji

I like PE Next. You need a lot of space in computer for this.

I have PE9/Next...and I had Janome MBPro3 and just upgraded to Janome MBX 4.5 (new version)...I prefer Janome over PENext...If I had to do it over again, I would not have purchased the PE Next software. I couldn't find the educational support I needed...I rarely even use it...I love the Janome MBX software and there is a lot of educational support...if you want to know more about it, go to

Trevor Conquergood had monthly webinars and there are a couple of them on YouTube that you can watch to get a feel for what this software can do...he has done some wonderful videos on how to use it...and he conducts two live webinars every month for members...I have been a member of his webinar series for two and a half years...they are wonderful...If you really like the PE7 you may perfer the PE9/Next and I am sure you can upgrade your version for less than it would cost to purchase a new software...these are just decisions you need to make...for me I love the Janome software for what it does and the educational support I am getting...software is only as good as the educational support you can get in my opinion. I find the Janome software much easier to use and understand...
