wow the price for embroidery software all i can say is wow hehe i work at the golden arches i need to sell a lot of big macs for those prices

Mary, you don't have to buy software unless you want to get into digitising, all/most other things like changing formats, resizing, changing colors etc can be done on free software. Did you see my comment on your other post about Ambassador - it's free. So save your money for more designs, haha! Hugs and flowers to you sweetie.
