The Essential Features

•   12 Fonts for multi-line text, monogramming and circle text.

•   Sample designs, which are scalable and recalculate their stitches as you interactively transform them.

•   Unlimited lines of letters or monograms and embroidery designs can be combined.

•   You can mix and match fonts and sizes.

•   Merge existing embroidery files into your design.

•   Browse and Merge designs in folders and from inside .ZIP files.

•   Resize existing embroidery files with stitch recalculation. You can resize embroidery designs up to 250% and down to 50%.

•   Colorize any embroidery design. You can change the colors one at a time, or convert the entire design or any selected part of it to your preferred thread brand with just a few mouse clicks.

•   Simulate the sewing of any design. The simulator can play in 3D, play forward and backward, and has variable speed. The simulator also has a slider so that you can manually scroll forward and backward through the design to any point without waiting. You can even insert a color stop in the sewing process.

•   Convert any design from one format to any of the supported types, which include:

•   Read: ART, CND, CSD, DST, DSZ, EMD, EXP, EXP+, GNC, HUS, JAN, JEF, JEF+, PCM, PCS, PEC, PES, PHC, SEW, SHV, TAP, VIP, VP3, XXX, EMB.

•   Create a working file (.BE extension) to save your design as an editable and merge-able file. Your working file is saved for you automatically when you save a stitch file so you don’t have to ‘Save’ twice every time you make some changes—once for the stitch file and once for the working file.
