Software for Digitizing Running Stitch

[Lacoedo]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for affordable software that will allow me to Digitize Running Stitches from designs I make in Adobe Illustrator. I did a litle bit of testing in Embrilliance StitchArtist, however a price tag of approx $500 USD turned me off.

I read some threads here about cheaper software, but I wanted to hear your experienced perspective before I go ahead and download 10 Trials of every different software.

 

All I will ever do are Running Stitches. I just want them to look pretty and have the ability to edit them. Best would be if I could convert existing images/vector files into stitches.

 

Thanks

Look on eBay, they sell "used" good software very cheap. I have bought Brother PE Design a few years ago and used it until I got bored. However you won't get any updates. ( price on eBay around $10)
