I am trying to find software that I will be able to combind designs and lettering on the screen at the same time be able to rotate them. do you know of one that will do this and is it easy to use

Try SewWhatPro from Sands Computing. You can download a 30day trial from their website.
It is an editing program, no digitizing or anything like that, but it is easy to use and no so expensive as Embird.
They also have a yahoo group for users of their software, and if you email them direct they are also very helpful.

I think probably the Embird would be the best choice if you don't already have some digitizing software. I have Janome Digitizer Pro, which can do all this easily, but it is an expensive program. It's so nice to be able to do what you're trying for, very easy to sew out, I hope the Embird trial works well for you. Good luck, hugs, Marji

I have the free trial and dont know how to use it i cannot find my dsigns now. it will not let me see my drive with the designs

What machine do you have? usually the software for combining designs come with the machine...depending of course on the machine.

I use PE design and as already mentioned it is not a freebie. I got mine when I bought my machine. It is in use regularly and can be used to digitise patterns too.

What you are looking for is very easy to do.
I also use 3D, but is expensive.(now 4D)

Good luck

bkd Embird is my choice. I have had it for several yrs. now. They will let u have it for a 30 day trial free to see if u want it. If not they just discontinue it with no ques. asked. *4u

Embird can do that. The basic version is about $150 and fairly easy to use.

ik werk ook met deze site , heel gemakkelijk in gebruik en niet duur in aankoop!

I can do that very easy with my software 3D embroidery studio, but it is very expensive, and most of Cuties here find that embird is more easy and less expensive, I think there is a version of trying free for a month, I hope that you understand my bad english.***

Thanks You

Hello, I do not know if I have correctly understood your question, because my English is not so good. But I work with Embird, because I can take it all at once and work together. And it is easy with embird.
