I have not purchased any machine embroidery quilting software as my quilts are not that expensive to begin with, so investing $700 for design software would not be worthwhile for me.

I create my own "quilting" designs as I feel they fit the quilt's overall theme. Example: Dogs get bones tumbling here and there and Cats get scampering mice. Cowboys get boots, stars, hats and horses. I don't do standard quilting!

If I were contemplating such an investment, I would want to see a live demo including the the back of the quilt if the design is done through all the layers.

There may be more information coming and hopefully one or two who use this software and can answer and questions you may have.

I did find several YouTube videos that may be of interest.

It looks fun. Looks quite expensively made too. I have not used it though. Also sounds like it is just new. I'm pretty sure it's Pulse made digitizing software though for at least some of it, as quite a few parts of it are looking kind of very "Pulse familiar" to me. That and that it's coming from Action Tapes too. Pulse is not cheap, on anything, ever. I think it's one of the 3 or 4 major more commercial kinds of digitizing software in the whole world even. At least for lots of other stuff.

I read the instruction book, that's on line there for you to read even.

If I was really into doing quilts and wanted to do them as more in the hoop all the time and add all those things into them, and I did not have tons of other digitizing software of lots of other kinds, then I would want it maybe.

I'm not that into bed quilts though at all, and have way too much other software myself now, so I probably need it kind of like, I need a hole in the head, but it looks kind of neat to me, particular if you did not want to have to learn to use some other full manual digitizing programs, to sort of get the same kinds of things done.
