where can I find free machine embroider software?
I would like to re-size designs and catalog and more.
The only freebie is Pulse Ambassador and it is for format conversion.
Embrilliance Thumbnailer is around $40 and it is a catalog that you can use with Mac or Windows. No machine embroidery program is needed – http://www.britonleap.com/
As for re-sizing, you do need a software program for this that will add or subtract stitches.
Re-sizing can be done in small % with the embroidery machine, but the stitch count remains the same.
To much enlarging and you get thin/open areas in the design.
Too much reducing and you get "bulletproof" embroidery, which is stitching on top of stitching that makes the design stiff.
Embird is a very popular brand and is the least expensive machine embroidery software.
You start with the basic program for $131.00 and then add other programs as you become more proficient or have the need.
As with most machine embroidery software programs, this one can only be used with Windows – http://www.secretsof.com/content/1853
