There are really good digitizers and there are some really bad ones too. Some of the "pros" spent time with a machine first, then learned to edit, then just naturally went on to digitizing. Automatic digitizing is not what it's said to be. No matter what system you buy, you will have to spend a lot of time using it to become a proficient digitizer. Yes, it was pricey BUT IT WORKS! If I can dream it up, this software can help me make it come to life. I have had different software brands over the years and spent a very long time looking at a lot of different software packages to find one I wouldn't "outgrow". Digitizing is what I do for a living, and I use Wilcom (ES65 V9). Numbers 3 and four will be asked to digitize and stitch out an image I'll be taking with me (and taking back to number 2, as well).Īnyway, I'm about to the end of my research but would really like to see some straight-forward comparisons. Number two took great pains to show the machine and the software. Looks like one isn't interested because they never followed through with a quote as they said they would. To date I've looked at 2 machines and have two more to see next week. What features does Wilcom have that make it worth so much more than its competitors such as Tajima's DG/ML or Happy's iPUnch, or Prodigy's IDS (and others)? Some of these are pretty pricey but all seem to have pretty much the same features which are presented differently on screen. Of course, there's all the "machine specific" digitizing software that runs the gamut from $2k to $6k (that I've seen so far) I did a netsearch for the Wilcom software after the last response and the highest price I found was about $9k, I think. It does an OK job, not quite as good as the professional software, and the files it produces can be directly imported into the Wilcom Software. The Digitiser 10000 which is equivalent in functionality to Wilsom ES45 with a couple of extra stitching options retails for $2500AU or $1800US. Wilcom also produce the Janome Software for home sewing machines. Converted to US at current exchange rates equals $15,000 - $17,000USĮntry level Wilcom which is only really good for lettering is around $3500AU or $2600US The top level Wilcom ES65 with all options, and the top level apS-Ethos software with all options retail in Australia for $20,000 - $22,000AU.
