Drawings is a very good digitizing program, but it has a few limitations. It does not have a lettering component. Most embroidery softwares can do simple keyboard lettering, just like engraving software. It is also tough to resequence your digitized designs.
A digitized design need to sew components in a certain order so it looks correct. A full digitizing software gives you better tools to sequence and manipulate stitches. Digitizing is more complex than simple printing.
That being said, Drawings is an outstanding program for many shops. You should be able to digitize 80% to 90% of the designs that come across your desk. I know a few people that are proficient with CorelDraw that use it for 100% of their digitizing. But the shops that I am speaking about have lettering software for embroidering text.
Drawings is developed by Wings Modular Embroidery software. Search them on the Internet and contact them for demonstration. They should be able to sell you the product along with a lettering component for text.
Good Luck |
