Hi, I'm a 68 year old Grandmother, who just got hooked on embroidery. Can any of you tell me from your user experiience, if the Embroidery Magic 2 is a program...
Hi, I'd have to say it's addictive, but you need a good tutorial. It wasn't til I purchased the Aunty M tutorial that I began to understand what was going on....
I can only say - Aunty M's tutorial is the best for learning this software as it is very thorough. Now, saying that - there is definitely a learning curve - it...
DEAR IRENE, THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING SO QUICKLY. I HAVE SPENT MOST OF MY AFTERNOON LOOKING FOR DIGITIZING SOFTWARE, AND IT'S REALLY CONFUSING, AND SOME IS VERY...
DEAR KTE, THANKS SO MUCH FOR REPLYING. I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THIS IS PROBABLY LIKE LEARNING PAINT SHOP PRO, OR COREL DRAW!! i'M WILLING TO GIVE IT A...
My word, Barb, if you can learn Paint Shop Pro - believe me - you can learn to digitize as I still have to learn that software and I have both of them - know...
Irene and Kathleen are both correct. Learning to digitize does have a learning curve and it takes time to learn to do it correctly. The process can be both...
Oh Irene, I didn't say I could DO Paint Shop !!! I've been fooling with it for a long time. Somethings are easy, some things are not. My son is in the...
Aunty M. Thanks for the information. Now I wonder if I would have to get additional software to convert the files. I purchased a Vikant Ultimate Box, to...
Barb, I don't remember if this was the latest list or not, but at one time we compiled a list of machines that accept dst files. Here is one list I found in...
By the way, for anyone who has not been on this list very long, you might want to look in the files for the ppl version of the ladybug design. It was used in...

Hi Barbyon65, I too just got started in digitizing and did my first (very simple) pattern in about a day. I think EM2 is very simple to use once you have...

thanks so much for the help with the color-problem. i got it. one more thing: does every program has its own format for the colors? or is there a way to ofer a...
Some programs use a color file. And some do not. I am familiar with the color files for Embird and EM2, but not with other programs. Maybe there will be...
thanks so much sweetie. i think it would be best to send the pei-file together with the dst-file and those who use other programs will have to replace the...
Hi Laurie, Thanks for the information. I think I'm getting closer to making my decision. I'm glad for the tutorials, I understand they are very well written....
Gerda, .EDR files are color palette files for another program, Embird. EM2 is probably reading the color stops, just like in a DST file, but not the colors...
