The November/December 2008 issue of Creative Machine Embroidery, received today, includes a CD with an "Evaluation Edition" of Creative DRAWings V4. An accompanying flyer describes it as a "Free Demo Copy:
I haven't installed it; it isn't clear just what this version can do or what are its limitations. My GUESS is that it lets you go through the whole design or digitizing process but won't actually produce a useable design file. It DOES say that it can export SVG or bitmap graphics, and it contains 200 different designs, each in a variety of formats.
