Why include soooo many Disney designs? Because if you do go on and maybe sell things made using them, Disney (so Im told) will find you and are demon litigators. but I've got on with it quite well for the limited work I've done but find the attached 'design library' pretty infantile and HOW MUCH DISNEY?

which sounds like the full banana right ? But is in fact the LITE version of the software (great marketing yeah?) and the full version retailed for ££££. Maybe I just naturally have a suspicious mind (which was an excellent song by Elvis)Īs I've recently exhumed Elvis from his body bag, I read this thread and the John Deer link with great interest because when I first got Elvis this was exactly what I thought I wanted to do. I do not mean to offend anyone and I have written this with a certain amount of my tongue in my cheek and it would help me certainly, if you could read it as such. Now I must preface this post with an apology. If I could have only one it would be Wilcom Hatch. I use 4 different embroidery programmes including the 3 above. In the meantime, if you join this facebook group, you'll pick up a flavour of people's experience with the course and also Hatch. You can get the course for Embrilliance StitchArtist and also Wilcom Hatch (but not Embird).

If you are interested in learning how to digitise and want to do a course then I recommend that you look at John Deer's The Digitising Dream Course - it has 3 levels. Machine embroidery, digitising designs and learning how to digitise does involve spending money and time if you want to make the most of your kit. It also involves investing time in practising and consolidating the knowledge and understanding to develop a competent level of expertise.īy way of comparison - you can learn how to operate a sewing machine but that doesn't teach you how to sew, or you can learn how to operate a car but you still need to learn how to drive, read the road, understand and deal with hazards, navigate and get the feel of appropriate speed and develop your own safety sense. Learning to digitise decent quality embroidery designs involves a lot more than learning which button to press. Often people tend to get locked into the idea of just watching a few videos to learn how to operate the programme and that the programme does all the work of digitising the artwork That's not the reality. You can also buy Wilcom Hatch on a monthly payment plan.īottom line with any digitising package - we invest in the expensive machines, we invest in the expensive software and then we don't bother to invest in the education that enables us to make the most of the equipment and software we have. You can buy Hatch in modules and build them up as you learn more or like the others you can buy the full package from the outset. It is more expensive than the economy packages above but it has a very user-friendly user WYSIWYG interface and it's packed full of all sorts of tools and features.

For example if you chose to get Embird basic and Embird Studio for digitising but don't want to buy the Font engine plug in for Embird you could get Embrilliance Express for free and a couple of fonts if you want to add lettering.įor a full on digitising package then I recommend strongly Wilcom Hatch. There are some free fonts (.BX format files are what you need for this one) around and you can buy all sorts of others - the nice thing is you buy only the fonts you want which can work out very economical. The free version of Embrillinace Express is very useful if all you want to do basic adding lettering to existing designs. Often you can get the modules for these programmes in bundles which can work out a little cheaper than buying them separately. If you are not then it just takes a little bit longer to get used to them. If you are familiar with vector based drawing programmes then you will find working with either Embird or Embrilliance quite straight forward. You can also add other features for example in Embird you can add a Photostitch plug in and a Fonts plug in. Then to build on that you get more advanced modules which enable you digitise artwork and create your own designs. The core of both these programmes is the basic view and limited stitch file editing package ie. Embrilliance Stitchart and Embird are the economy model packages.
