Got Wings Operator. Much more productive now. Did my first 3 designs with it and am very happy. We will be doing 2 days of training on it in March.

How are you getting on with the Deco Studio, attended the P&P Exhibition yesterday (UK) and had the software demoed, waiting for it to arrive next week it seemed pretty impressive for the price (I currently have the early edition of drawings and use Embird for maual punching)

Cheers

You may also want to look at generations. That can even take a pic and add stitches to it.

I saw a comment made about pricing and just to let you know, I have never had a problem with Wilcom telling me the current pricing level of any of their digitizing versions and if you look hard enough you will find a couple of distributors posting the price of the software on their web sites. I also never had a problem with Wilcom providing me with an upgrade path and last time I checked, when ugrading you turn in your previous version and can purchase the next level and the current price level less the price you paid for your current level. So if ES65 is $15k and you are upgrading from 21D and you paid $5k, you can upgrade for $10K to ES65.

Wilcom and other top level packages are expensive due to the programming involved. All digitizing software requires mathematical calculations to produce a completed design. Like in many things there are short cuts that can be taken to achieve the same ending, the more shortcuts the less difficult the programming, the more work is required to get a clean and crisp design. With the higher level packages the longer and more complex rout is taken but the end result is so noticeably better it make is worth spending the extra money.

BTW, I don't digitize, I leave it for the professionals, but I do own a copy of ES65 for doing lettering and adding lettering to stock designs. I also own a lower end product and I can tell you I have done designs in both packages and there is a noticeable difference.

Has anyone here used the Brother embroidery machine. I bought a 9 needle machine and it came with the Brother embroidery software. I basically taught myself how to digitise and after 1 year I got a 5 day course which turned out to be a refreshers course for me. You can digitise your own letters etc. or use the 20 fonts provided. Love it.

Since you have an older version of DRAWings, this is what you are looking for:
WOW, DRAWings 4 PRO has arrived!!!

Let us know your opinion on Deco Studio.

Robert, that means that Deco Studio is crashing or it is very slow. Any one with more experiences and examples?

That is great Robert,
So, you can import a vector and change the colour and convert the vector to an embroidery file. Let us know more.

what I love is taking an embroidery file into decostudio and then autmoatically converting it to a vector file!!! I nearly fell over when I saw that. You dont know how much time that will save for printing. Never have to redraw it again.
