Hello to group. I could not find a newsgroup faq file so I'll just jump right in.
My Mother-in-law recently purchased a Husqvarna Viking Rose (I always thought Husky made only dirt bikes and chainsaws, hmm). She's looking for patterns, software and the like. She's been having me search Ebay for something called an 'amazing box' or a 'magic box'. I've found both, but don't know the difference. They go for about $200 on there and the local shop wants $400, wow!!
My wife and I (and kids) have some ideas on things we would like her to embroider. I have lots of graphics software (engineer/web designer/graphic artist) but apparently I need specialized software for use on her machine. Can I use any type of software (i.e. Photoshop) and then convert it for reading by her machine?
If I need to utizile special software, do you have any suggestions? She mentioned some software which will allow images to be made for digital pics or scans and I think she's leaning that way.
Being a huge Bon Jovi fan, I have some embroidery I'd like her to do with that (for myself only, I'm not worried about copyright b/c I'm not selling it or anything) as well as some specialized fonts that I have on my website logo which I'd like her to reproduce for a shirt logo. The font is a True Type font, free off the net, but if there is software required to add fonts, I need that too.
Are there any demos or trial versions of this type of software readily available on the net? The husky site had lots of software, but I had no idea on even which one to look at. Anyone purchase supplies, software, accessories off the net from someone they'd recommend?
TIA, Crew
