Embroidery File Viewer Mac And Windows

I have one that allows me to transfer files back and forth between Mac and Windows as well as giving me a backup drive thats always available.

Embroidery File Viewer Software That Can

Is there any software that can be used on a Mac to view the designs once they are downloaded from the Internet Thanks Carolyn for the question and to Vicki and Fran for their answers.

It says it is OS-X compatible (Operating System Ten in Mac-speak) which is the current Mac operating system from 2001 to present day.

That is digitizing software and its a pretty steep price to be able to view your designs on your Mac considering that a windows program to view designs is available for as little as 30.

And Fran (Puddinluvrtoo) says she has downloaded designs to her Mac then emailed them to herself so she can open them on her Windows PC.

And that is the bottom line unless youre willing to spend a LOT of money for the one Mac program available.

They all involve buying a full-blown Windows installation and installing it onto your Mac hard drive.

So you do have a Windows machine then, with all the crashes and annoyances of Windows, right there on your Mac.

With Parallels you can boot up in Mac then toggle over to Windows.

Theres another program that allows the same thing with but with more than 1 additional operating system, so you could put Windows AND Linux AND Unix AND several other operating systems all onto your Mac.

It comes with OS-X Leopard and allows you to boot up into Mac or Windows.

If you boot up into Mac but want to change to Windows you re-boot and select Windows before it begins the startup process.

Thats not as quick as just clicking a toggle-key, but Boot Camp is free.

Regardless of how you get from Mac to Windows on your Mac, you have to buy Windows and install it.

Windows EATS UP your hard drive space and if your hard drive isnt very big you could regret that.

Once you get Windows installed, then you do have to install a Windows-based embroidery program in order to see your embroidery files.

So you will be spending some money to see embroidery designs on your Mac.

Theres about 150 for Windows (depending on which one you buy) and the cost of the embroidery software will be at least 30 for SewIconz.

Youll need software for that too unless you have a Janome and can just write to a Compact Flash card.

All other machines require some sort of design transfer software and box.

More money) If you already HAVE a Windows PC with software that allows you to see your embroidery designs then it MIGHT be better to stick with it for that task.

The challenge then becomes two-fold.

How do I download a design on my Mac and then transfer it to my Windows PC, and 2) How do I make room on my desk to fit two monitors, two computers, two mice, etc.

If you already have a wi-fi network then just add a hard drive that all computers on the network can access.

Apple makes a Time Capsule which is a network hard drive with a built-in wi-fi router.
