I'm new here and have a really dumb question... My HP laptop seems to have died and I am seriouisly considering buying an iMac. I have a Babylock Esante and use Palette v6 and Monogram Wizard plus. I am willing to upgrade my Palette if needed, but is anything in the Palette family compatible with Apple computers? Thanks so much!!

What you CAN do is simply use Boot Camp or some other set-up that lets you run Windows on the Mac along with MacOS. I don't know whether things like dongles (or attached card reader/writers) are supported. Needs some research.

Babylock Palette and Brother PEDesign (they're identical with different labels) aren't available for Macs.

You might try googling for

Embroidery Software Mac

to find embroidery programs that run on Macs.

And THEN do a lot of careful research - information about Mac embroidery support isn't as widespread as for Windows systems.

I have a beat up old 486 laptop that runs 1 program, my embroidery stuff. For some stupid reason there are no vendors that make a software program for Mac, but the good thing is mac is much more dependable than PC!!!

What about the free software "StitchBuddy-Embroidery for Macs by Mathias Arndt? There was an article posted on the 9th of August about the new version.
