Since 2004 on and off I've belonged to a few embroidery clubs sometimes more then once. The ones I belong were S.I.C.K, Artistic Designs, and DK Embroidery. I have to say they are a pretty good deal, especially for the beginner embroider, instant collection of designs. Download everything for one price. Usually they have monthly and yearly memberships. I think DK has the best designs, then Sick. Artistic has a lot of kiddie stuff which I just don't use. Sick had added about 30 sets since I last joined trying to decide if it's worth the money to rejoin for a month or so. ------

Date: 11/16/12 10:26 AM I just looked in over at DK and was surprised that they don't have designs in the .EXP (Bernina) format.
I realize that one can convert the .ART designs but it's an unnecessary additional step and I wonder if if you lose any detail in the conversion process. (For those of us who don't have the software to do it.) ------

Date: 11/16/12 11:10 AM We I know back in the day there wasn't any software to convert Bernina designs except Bernina software which was very very expensive. Probably an added expense this small business didn't want. ------

1 member likes this. Anyone have a Babylock Ellageo Plus?
I made the purchased yesterday, was it the right purchase or should I have looked a little harder for a better machine? |

Date: 11/27/12 1:24 PM I have the Ellageo Plus. It's a great machine. Mine came with a lot of feet and accessories. The embroidery is beautiful. No problems whatsoever and it sews great also. I did not want to spend what the Ellisimo costs but wanted a machine with a large embroidery field, editing capabilities and a color screen. I don't think there is a 'Better' machine, just machines with more features. My machine is not fincky at all.
I can use any threads or needle brands with no problems. And I love the presser foot lift button. There is actually a lot of functionality built into a nice mid-price machine. HTH |

Date: 12/11/12 10:55 PM I have heard you always want the ART format even for the 830. The exp is a commercial format and you lose a lot of info that you need in the V6 software. ------
