&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m pretty new to machine embroidery and am having fun learning all about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a few questions, though.&amp;nbsp; I have a Brother se350, and found I had to purchase the PED programs, and so I bought the PED basic.(the one I can afford!)&amp;nbsp; So far, its all i really want.&amp;nbsp; I dont want to design my own, I&amp;#39;m very happy using designs that others who are more skilled at that make, and they come out so pretty!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I found a couple bigger designs than my 4 x 4 hoop, and need to learn how to split them. I am told that the EMBIRD program will split it for me.&amp;nbsp; However, I&amp;#39;m wondering if there are other programs to choose from that offer free trials as well.&amp;nbsp; I tried to d/l the embird and my computer said the file was not good.So i thought perhaps I needed to chekc out others as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone have any suggestions?&amp;nbsp; All I really want to do is be able to split the designs so I can use bigger patterns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any suggestions?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for all your help.:)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Debbie:)&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
