I was wondering if anyone has a program called Hatch by Wilcom.

I was looking for Lettering programs and came across this one. I may download the free trial in a couple of days.
The main thing I want know is it worth the price and is it one of those programs with a Dongle?
I bought Explorations a few years ago and didn't realise it came with a Dongle and if that breaks that is the end of the program as it isn't supported anymore.

I get email's from them about this, but don't know much about it.... I also do not have a lettering program and have been trying to decide which to buy. A cutie friend of mine told me to get sew what pro. She likes it a lot. I've just about decided to get the sew what one myself. Hope you get your answers. Mechille :)

I do have a lettering program called Letter It by Amazing Designs. It is good but looking for something that will do larger letters for a project.
Embird is a good program which I have but the Alphabets are $15 each.

I am basically familiar with it...Wilcom makes Bernina and Janome software so they are a good company...But the upgrades for their software packages are expensive...If I were you, I would look at Embird...You can purchase Embird in modules as you need them and it is a very good software...most of their upgrades are free or are very minimal in cost...I have Embird Basic and Iconizer and I love them...If I had it to do all over again, I would not have purchased the Janome or Palette 9 digitizing software...but I would have gotten all of the Embird modules...much less cost and just as versatile...

I had trouble downloading it my anti virus kept blocking it. So maybe something is telling me you don't need it. I have Embird so will stick with it.

I would never purchase a program with a dongle again either. I'm not familiar with Hatch.

I am sorry but I know nothing about it. Just bringing your question back to the top. I have seen the advertising for it, but since I have Embird I am not interested. I do agree I would never purchase a program that requires a dongle.
