What you can do with this software

This software provides digitizing and editing capabilities, allowing you the creative freedom to design original embroidery. Easily combine images and text to create embroidery patterns that can be written to an original card. The images may come from clip art, scanned images, or created with computer based drawing program.

After assembling the different parts of your embroidery pattern, you can use the layout functions to adjust their relative position, orientation and scale.

When an embroidery design is complete, you can save it and write it to an original card.

The original card can then be inserted into your embroidery machine for the embroidery design to be sewn.
