Thanks Ricky J

I use Embird right now so I am aware of how difficult digitizing can be. I still consider myself a beginner though! I do not just want the software to sit either. I'm more concerned with not liking the program in some way. I did not care for PE Design at all, and though I love Embird I need something more advanced now. I noticed the Wilcom user base is not as much "open share" as the Embird community. I could not even find an active Wilcom user community

I am having a hard time shading and doing other advanced digitizing with Embird, and it *looks* like Wilcom will help me a little with these features, but I can't find anyone to ask if it will and there is no trial of the program,nor detailed brochures. I did find some videos which helped.
I use Corel Draw and Illustrator already, so I think I could probably at least hack at it until I got it.
Does Wilcom have more training videos than what they have open to public view on their website? Do you get more training videos after you register software and do they cost you or are they free?
I could not go to GA unfortunately. Thanks for the reply!!
