It is true, many software vendors don't allow for full features in their trials. I know one that I worked on for several days before I found out that I could not sew the design in the trial version. I really wanted to see the finished product. . . I do use Ken's Compositions, and I can tell you...

There is a newbie on the market. It is from Ken Parsons. I have been working with the trial version and found it easy to use and very accurate in stitching. I find Ken's work to be extremely detailed oriented, I feel like he is a perfectionist as well. Even if I do need to make adjustments, this...

I agree that AlphabetX can do a great job with wording and monograms - I even have a post scheduled for tomorrow on Monograms, please check it out! Compositions is different.

I was just thinking of how many times I have used Compositions since I have gotten it. I use it nearly everytime I am embroidering! I was not sure I would be using it a lot, but recently I have been doing a lot of names, and it is difficult to get a long name like Charlotte on to a small area. Compositions...

There is a 'Tip' in my Compositions blog and I felt I could have said it several more times, because it was an issue for me too !!! You must place the location on your project AND DOUBLE CLICK on the location to make it the "work area focus" of your project. Then go to File, and Select...
