I have had to learn a whole new ulility and a whole new way of setting up graphics. The formats are heavily gaurded and there really not a whole lot of similarities. Its cool but waaayyy different. I kinda have to laugh every time I go into the sewing and embroidery supply shop to get some more colors or stabilizer lol there usually a couple of blue hairs milling about an me in there. The lady I usually buy stuff from always tries to getme to do some of there classes :D somewhow I think I may stand out in there

I hear ya Dave every now and again I have to run to the fabric store to look for something. At first they talk to me like I'm a child.... Then once they find out what I do, they have a bunch of questions. I always tell them they should learn boats and cars..... Pays better than quilts. LOL. When I have things embroidered now the shop I go to sends the image out to get "digitize" I think she said the company that dose it is out if china. It takes 2 days to a few hours... She charges me $35 for it. I'm willing to bet that's prob the best route to take since your not wasting time setting the image up.
