Janome embroidery designs can be best crafted on Mac through Stitch Buddy application. It has made my life so easy and helps to me to save my money. It facilitates me to manage all my designs in a single file on Mac and I can view them anytime by just downloading them on my iPhone and iPad. Whenever I want to resize, rotate, flip, change thread color, combine part of the design or complete design, I can do it in just a few seconds with complete ease. Although it requires little bit of learning for the newbie’s, but is actually fun to work with. I would have given up embroidery designing long time back, if have not discovered Stitch Buddy application. This software has kept me in my comfort zone, keeping all my necessities in mind. I love this Mac based program which does not support any outdated features and is equipped with modern ones. I can view it as many times as I want and I don’t have to go to my Windows PC to watch it.

I can get all its updates absolutely free. Simply, I have to open Apple AppStore app icon on my iPad whenever it shows a badge. Nevertheless, one of the drawbacks of iPad is that it cannot transfer designs from Stitchbuddy HD directly to any embroidery machine I am working with. But definitely, I can use USB or WiFi for iTunes File sharing for copying the designs to my computer. On the other hand, I can also share my designs through email also.

StitchBuddy View is attuned with the iPhone and iPod Touch and is a smaller version of StitchBuddy HD. The limitation for StitchBuddy here is that I cannot implement its trial version in all the applications to test its functions. StitchBuddy Mac is compatible with Mac with Intel Processor which helps in printing the color sheet with real size templates. It also gives us the privilege to export graphic designs, provide description through clipboards and use its drag and drop option in various other applications while these features are missing in StitchBuddy HD and StitchBuddy View.
