Pantograms Manufacturing has released another good value for embroidery digitizers. Their Fancyworks Studio embroidery digitizing program has many great features for a good value!

You can digitize your own designs from any graphic, create applique designs, text and monograms, "quilt stitch" designs, sort and store your designs in an Embroidery Recipe Box -- and more!

The quality of the design you can create with this program is just as good as any high-dollar software. If you've used Embroidery Magic 2, you'll already be familiar with how many of the tools work.

After trying this software, I've found it's like Embroidery Magic 2 pumped up and on serious steroids. No, it doesn't have some of the "fancy" tools that expensive software has, but it has all you need to create great designs without having to add-on extra modules for fonts or even photostitch. (Yes, you CAN create photostitch with this program! It's manual, not automatic, but you can do it if you know the technique.)

So if you're looking for a good, solid digitizing program with a few more features than Embroidery Magic 2, or if you have EM2 and want to upgrade a little, Fancyworks Studio is a great investment.
