You know-yesterday I discovered three embroidery apps in the App store-for ipad/macs. I really wanted to hear as many different points of view on this topic.
No need to apologize for the thread jack. Quote: SewEverlasting I am not 100% certain but I do think that TruEmbroidery does have a dongle. I often find it's easier to make tweaks to designs from the source and re-import the SVG rather than trying to use the tools in Embird. I prefer running Embird on my mac instead of a separate PC because I like being able to switch between Embird and Illustrator when I am digitizing and I don't have PC versions of the programs I use. There of course have been a few things I didn't know how to do until I learned how, but that's a different issue than the ability of the software. There's been nothing Embird can't do so far that I wish I could do. How does it hold up to some of the cheaper options like Embird (which still comes in under $500 including studio and font engine - which are the two plug ins I couldn't be without). Sorry for the thread jack! How much less? Part of what I've always wondered about these is that even if you consider the cost of something like VMWare ($50) and a full version of windows ($100). I am probably being dense-but lots of programs protect their licenses without dongles-like Adobe Photoshop-so I don't see why we have to have it with embroidery programs. Does anyone know if TruEmbroidery has a dongle? And on my mac-I have a lot more RAM, etc. Since I switched to Macs in 2006ish-I have a hard time using Windows/PC-they're just so different.
I am so interested in this-because my office and my home are all Apple/Mac. Any PC program can be run on a Mac with an Intel chip know (all macs since 2006 at least)-I use Parallels app to run PC programs on my mac. The Pfaff dealer 90 minutes away is having a TruEmbroidery event later this year. That's what caught my eye about TruEmbroidery.
To me, the cinema display on the Mac and the other operating system features would go perfectly with embroidery digitizing and editing. (Now that looks like great software, but I don't know that I need everything it does.) While I have a PC, I also have a Mac that I love to use. Thanks for the great info! I was just at a Floriani event where their Total Control software was selling for $1799, but is just for the PC. I was able to get mine for less on a big sale at my local dealer.Įdited on 5/28/13 6:07 AM. I can't remember exact price, but I believe MSRP is around $2200. Like other digitizing software, it is expensive. I went to a sales demo after I purchased mine, and that was like a class for me, and really helped me get started with it. I do wish they had more online videos to show how/where to do things. Mostly I load designs and then modify them, add text, etc. I'm pretty new to embroidery so I have not done any digitizing yet.
