The first Module you must purchase is Basic Embird which contains the Manager Module and the Editing Module and while neither module is actually for digitising you can, in Editor, combine designs resize, rotate, mirror image, copy, paste change hoops change formats and add or remove individual stitches from designs, which is great practice for digitising.

If you download and purchase the separate Module Licenses through Secrets of Embroidery you will also earn Secrets dollars to deduct off the cost of the next module you purchase, and you'll also get a bonus design sampler (30+ designs) when you spend over $35. Most of the upgrades are free, though sometimes they might charge a whopping $15 (LOL!) for a particularly comprehensive program upgrade. You can download the FULL (but saving restricted) version of Embird for a 30 day trial and then purchase the license to unlock each module as and when you decide to proceed. Terri, I can and always have recommended Embird as the most reasonably priced, best supported, (digitising) program I have ever used.īut like most programs it does not create ART format, this is because, as unfair as it is, ART is owned, copyrighted and totally protected for use and creation ONLY with Bernina software. Although I do like the Janome MBX, I would not purchase it if I were to have the option to start again.Wilcom makes Janome software and they are basically 'sister' programs.would not purchase Wilcom either.good luck and keep us posted! Floriani is constantly updating and improving and adding new digitizing options to their software and really do take suggestions from their users and try to implement the requests into their software. I love the Embird Basic and could not be without Iconizer.but I do believe Floriani digitizing software is extremely user friendly, support and training is fantastic and free upgrades make it worth the cost. Although Embird has many tutorials available, the support and ongoing training that Floriani offers is in my opinion unmatched by any other. I have spent more to upgrade my Janome than I would have to outright purchase either Embird's entire package or Floriani software.

I have used Floriani which is a fantastic program, but pricey! Embird and Floriani do not charge for upgrades which is a huge plus. I use Janome MBX mostly, but have Palette 9 (which I do not like at all).I also have Embird Basic with their Iconizer.
