Hello, Joanie has just posted in the Software forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of using software other than Design Shop. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5793-using-software-other-than-Design-Shop Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** Thank you John, I did decide that I'm not going to digitize, I'm slow and not that good! I somewhat mis-used digitizing, I'll do lettering, and cutting/pasting of design parts, that is my level of "digitizing" :-) So . . . am I trying to ride a pony at the Kentucky Derby? (Bernina design, to my Amaya) Since you don't digitize do may I ask what software you use to interact with designs and the Amaya OS? A sketch design, is a digitized (not by me) pencil/charcoal like drawing. 3 shades and they are pretty nice looking. Sketch is more than likely my wording. Thank you, I really appreciate your thoughts, Joanie *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
