I've been lurking here since I purchased a new Singer Quantum XL5000. Now I'm ready to try digitizing some original designs. Can any of you experts tell me whether the proprietary Singer PSW 2.0 software is the
*only* package which will write in the Singer format, or can I use Embird or some other less expensive software? If the latter, do you have a recommendation?

I made this list a while back. Seems a lot of people were interested in what the differences are in the various software. This is what I was able to determine. The list was quite long and I gave up on researching the others but those that I'm aware of are listed at the end.
