Reason #1 To Have Embroidery Software on Your Computer

Many embroidery machines are almost like computers, themselves. Some machines let you download, re-size, view, and rotate desings.   So, is there a good reason to have embroidery software on your computer? If you're wondering how computer embroidery software could help you, I have a series of reasons you might like to consider. 

In this installment, here is one way embroidery software can help you.

Reason #1: Know What You Own
Embroidery software will allow you to see the designs on your computer. You know the expression “out of sight, out of mind!” Sometimes I'm not sure whether I decided to buy a design or save the purchase for later.   Embroidery viewing software makes it easy for me to find out if I bought it or need to add it to my shopping list. 

When you can see the designs, you can find the one you need without having to re-download it, or (worse) re-purchase something you already have. There are several types of software for this.  Buzz-Xplore makes a whole design management system. 

If you already like the way you are organizing your designs, consider Embrilliance's Thumbnailer.  This video  shows you how to download, install, and use Thumbnailer. You can also see how Thumbnailer allows you to see designs on your computer for organizational purposes.

I hope this gave you something to think about when it comes to keeping track of your designs.  Up next: design editing.
