Are you sure that's not "Do not change horses in the middle of the race??" I guess no one wants to fall into a stream and get wet either. LOL By the way, I'm a Chevy guy.

A couple of questions for you? Do you digitize now? Are you familiar enough with the Melco software that if you were to try the Wilcom software on a trial basis you could determine the differences? If so, ask the Wilcom team to give you a system for a 30 day free trial and do your own comparison. If you are not familiar with digitizing, and really do not know either software, then perhaps some other thoughts. The Wilcom software does not make Melco OFM files. You would loose the extras that are built into OFM files just for Amaya machines. If you have been making files, and setting the Speed, thread feed etc. and using the Setting "Use Machine Settings from Design", you will not longer be able to do this. If you would like to be able to in the future, this would not be an option. It is like asking a Ford owner which car is best. He is going to tell you Ford. I contend, that any of the embroidery software on the market is able to do the job correctly. It all gats down to personal preferences and what you get used to. Do you want to go through another learning curve to learn Wilcom when you have been learning Melco? Why do that, it only is going to put more strain and slow down the learning process you have already started. There is a saying that applies here, "Do not change horses in the middle of the stream". Just my take on it, for what it is worth.
