I asked a question and must have posted it in the wrong place, cause I can' find it now. The question was , does anyone know a cheap program that I can get to do digitizing with? I appreciate all input

You have a PM
If you are looking for digitizing advice, it would be best if you post in the Digitizing section

If you go to the digitising section you'll see that this question has been asked and answered many times. Read through them.
First of all you'll have to decide if you would go for auto-digitising which gives instant but often rather disappointing results or invest time (and for some that means a lot of time) in learning to do it manually.
Secondly you will see there are a lot of people who love Embird, but there are a number of other programs favoured by others.
Personally I like Embird better than the far more expensive 6D Premium I also have, but read the recommendations by others and see what you think. And try out a few that have free trials.

Why don't you try a free digi program before buying--to see if it's what you want to do? Here are 2 free ones you can D/L.. http://sophiesew.com/SS2/the-software/ (there are also video tutorials to D/L also)...http://www.thredworks.com/index.php ..and Bernina has a free program also, but I don't have the link for it. I do not know if they are easy or hard to work with, but it will give you an idea.

The free Bernina programme is not a digitising one. And sophiesew is still in a developing stage and can be very frustrating as it freezes at the slightest mistake.

This must be the newer version of sophiesew...I had read that a newer program was being developed.
