3.0 out of 5 stars Corel Drawings, October 11, 2006

This review is from: CorelDRAWings X3 Standard (CD-ROM)

I bought Corel Drawings Pro edition about 8 months ago expecting to be able to do actual digitizing. Basically all you can do is Draw a picture and the software automatically turns it into stitches. That is a great feature but if you need to digitize things in a specific direction or order, your out of luck. You can't import other Emb designs. You cant resequence parts to run in a different order. Theres are no cut, copy, or paste functions. The lettering is ok but if you want it to sew center out the end result looks terrible (basically starts at center, sews a line to one side and then sews from left to right.) Although this software is well suited for beginners who wish to sew only flat embroidery, The features are pretty elementery for people who demand professional results.

1.0 out of 5 stars Drawing not worth the money, January 15, 2007

By 

Michael Trapp "Trapped By Drawings" (Orange County, Ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CorelDRAWings X3 Standard (CD-ROM)

I purchased Drawings 3 months ago and still cannot make it produce nice embroidery results. I have 10 years of digiting experience. The tool is plauged with subtle bugs which make it time consuming to use. You basically get a pretty simulation of the embroidery on the screen, but when you sew it out, the results look horrible. After many experiements I tracked the poor result to the stitich length. Drawing sets it to 2.9mm, my known good design have a stitich length of 6.0mm. This cannot be changed in the standard edition. So if you buy this expect to pay another $800 for the pro edition so you can actually sew something.

5.0 out of 5 stars This makes embrodiery easy., July 17, 2007

Drawings pro makes embrodiery easy. Every setting is user confiqurable. If you use illustrator to design its easy to import vector files and then just create the stitches, make a few adjustments and away you go. Having used Ethos before where you virtually have to do everything manually, this makes embrobiery a breeze.
