You may take a look at http://www.smartdesigns.com/product.htm They sell the Corel Drawings 2 PRO which I've heard works fairly well on "simple" designs. If you call them, they can go through an online tutorial with you while you are on the phone. However, for more complex designs, you just can't replace the human touch.

Many of these programs claim to be an easy solution to all your digitizing needs but in truth they all are limited in what they can produce [if you care about quality]. Never purchase digitizing software which is only "auto". I personally am not a big fan of autodigitizing but if you choose to go that route, choose software that also offers full manual digitizing capabilities ... that is very important. If you are new to digitizing and can't attend "in person" classes / seminars, then I would suggest that you invest in one of the good "none software specific" books, online lessons or dvd's available. Understanding embroidery basics, is the key to quality digitizing and one of these will get you well on your way and are well worth the money : - the book Digitizing 101 by Thomas Moore Jr. - the online lesson by Trevor Conquergood at the Stitchitize website - the new Digitizing Made Easy series of dvd's by John Deer Bob Extreme Embroidery wrote: >I have done no digitizing yet and I am at a point to explore that challenge myself rather than having it sent out to be done. Can anyone give me some pointers where to start. Right now, I am not at liberty to go to the training classes and will need to start from square one. I have the software that I purchased when I bought the machine a year ago. I was wondering, is there a auto digitizing program out there somewhere that the basic designs can be sent to and adjusted. Just thinking how technology has progressed thru the years, I just thought there could be something available. > > Thanks everyone!! > >Extreme Embroidery & Design >Darlene Weber, Owner >640 6th Ave. SE >Britt, Ia. 50423 >Ph (641) 843-3689 >Fax (641) 843-3689 > >--------------------------------- >Yahoo!
