Embird and Studio

Embird is a great embroidery program. The basic program is for organizing and editing your designs, the Studio program adds a full featured digitizing program to the mix.  There are additional modules for Cross Stitch, Picture Stitch and Lettering.  If you have considered a digitizing program at all, Embird is worth taking a peek at.

If you already have Embird and Studio, you have come to the right place to learn all you need to know about this software program.  These lessons are posted monthly for the DigiStudio Yahoo Group and are only available for about 6 months.  Retired lessons are available on compliation CD's for a while after that.  Because the program is frequently updated and improved, older lessons may not be as pertinent as they once were.

Older lessons are available on compilation CDs for those who wish to know everything about the program!
