NOTES SOFTWARE The software you use to digitize is only a small part in the equation to create a design. If you know how to sew you can sew on any sewing machine. Likewise, if you can drive, you can drive any car. I find that digitizing software is the same. Once you learn how to digitize, you will be able to use any software. With that being said, some software is easier to use than others. There is a lot of digitizing software available these days, whether it is offered by a machine company, retailer, or as a download. When I started digitizing, there were only 2 companies that produced it and they were both very expensive. Now you can purchase commercial-quality software for $2,000.00 or less. Each brand of software has unique features and is slightly different, but they all have similar features. I have always said that they are all the same type of cake, but with different icing and decorations. One brand may have more decorative stitches, and another may have more automatic features. Usually the higher the price, the easier it is to use and the more features it will have. I always look for things like quality control features, being able to easily manipulate thread settings, and the ability to easily edit a design. You will be able to create the designs in this class using basic digitizing software. If you are in the market for a new brand of software, after this class you will know the right questions to ask.
