My DH just bought me a Babylock Ellageo machine, but didn't get any software other than what came in the box (Pallet lite). Can someone tell me a little bit about the Designer Gallery suite (including Masterworks) and Pallet V6? I don't understand why there are two software systems for this machine family.
I know that the Designers Gallery suite is modular, with several family modules that can be purchased individually as needed. The Pallet system seems to be all in one. I've read that Pallet and PE-Design (Brother) are exactly the same program, except for the name. Is this so?
I've used PE-Design before. Also, I've tried other digitizing demo software systems and I've discovered that the PE-Design doesn't autodigitize quite as well as some of those other ones. (Based on a test sample design that I used for each system.) In particular, there were a lot more jump stiches in PE-Designs output, and resizing (smaller) didn't sew out as well. I haven't had a chance to test it on Masterworks, though. Is Masterworks the same program as something else, as in the PE-Design / Pallet manner?
If you have any experience with Designers Gallery or Pallet v6 and would be willing to share your thoughts, I would like to learn from you, before I ask my DH to make a software choice. Thank you in advance.
