Sure it's the bottom of the line in embroidery software and you do get what you pay for but it does work. The trick is to spend time in a drawing or photo program manipulating the image before running it through this program since this program doesn't provide for any flexibility. Garbage in, garbage out as they used to say.

So far I've only been working with single color images. I've had luck with photographs manipulated into extreme high contrast. What photographers refer to as Kodalith, after a sheet film used in lithography. You can see some examples at emilbacilla.com if you're interested.

Someday I hope to get a "real" embroidery digitising program that allows you to manipulate the actual stitches. In the meantime this program does the job, albiet primitively.

The disk of images that come with it is a joke. Most of the images are animated .Gifs and are useless for embroidery.

At first I did not like this software. But then I got used to the way it worked and now I love it. I own a Brother Embroidery machine and it creates wonderful images for my machine. But it does not do a great job on all images but my embroidery needs are for simple images and for me it is a wonderful, well priced software.

I meant to put this on the Smart Box Review.
