Hi! I’m Anne Beckett from Anne’s Embroidery in Austin, Texas and again we’re still working on the bird we’re working on the goo design program, in the fact that you can choose any type of stitch that you want with it it’s great. If you’re a beginner you may not want to go with Milco design or Milco machine and Milco design equipment because it is really expensive. If you’re more into home embroidery then you’ll want to go with like a Bernina or a Brother or Singer, there are quiet a few the cost is right about $1,000 for the machine and it does come with a certain amount of stock designs which I think are garbage but you know if you’re just putting things on your granddaughters dresses then you know that fine. Now you can also if you have a home embroidery machine you could come to somebody like me and give me a design, a drawing that one of your kids has done for instance or grandkids and I can digitize it and send it to you. I don’t know if you got this but there is something called a happy box or magic box, I think there’s two different companies that makes them, one calls it a happy box the other one calls it a magic box but essentially it’s like a little computer that reformats designs from what I’m working with the commercial software to essentially the home embroider software. Now that software cost about another 3 to $4,000.
