Check this out, they made it freeware a few years ago. There are a multitude of links for information. A lot of freebies onsite, I have used some quilting designs and applique that have come out nicely. I haven't had the time to try out the digitizing.

Sands Computing - same people who do SewIconz have one on their site now. $75 and month free trial. No idea what it is like, I have just downloaded it but not unpacked it as yet. I'm going to give it a try soon.

No, Realene, I don't think there is one. I looked for one before I bought mine and the only ones I found are free trial ones which let you only play around with them and not print or save anythingTaslk to you soon, Ricky
