Now having said that, embroidery software is a tool and is only going to be as good as the person using it. The users embroidery knowledge, experience, skill, talent and their ability to get the most out of the software will make the biggest difference in the quality of work produced .... not the brand of software used. Quality digitizing has a pretty steep learning curve and although having the ability to import vector files to create a design [or portions of one] can be a useful tool, it certainly is not a substitute for having the ability to manually create an embroidery design. Digitizing is not a "click a button or two and you are done" process. When choosing digitizing software, you are free to choose virtually any program you choose .... you do not have to use the software that the machine dealer sells. In the end, choose the program[s] which you feel most comfortable using.
