Bebe, Although Wilcom, Design Shop, and Pulse software (no particular order) are the leaders in the industry, you need to know that all programs will have there fair share of "bugs". Consider the learning curve and what that might be for you. If you've been digitizing for years, it may not be as tough, as say, for a beginner. Also consider the expense both now and for future upgrades. If anyone tells you that the software is bug free, and it is, it's probably because it's old and has been around for years giving them time to get the bugs out. Although with old software, you lose out on all the new technological advances. Know that this is not an embroidery thing..., it's more of a computer thing. Also consider the fact that with Wilcom, Pulse and the many other software providers out there, they aren't going to be able to help you with squat when it comes down to answering questions about running the designs you've just created on your Melco Amaya. And then when you call on Melco or one of us using Design Shop, we won't have a clue to help you either. Only a consideration. Best of luck to you. Ed Ed & Maralien Orantes E.M.
