I am brand new to machine embroidery and as a 69 yr. old male have some questions that I'm sure have been asked and answered before. I bought an Elna Exquisit 2 and got a software program called Elna Express with it that allows me to download designs off the Internet and put into my machine via a flash cared. Can this software also take a picture and digitize it so that it can also become an embroidery design? I've tried several ways and so far nothing. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Ken,

First of all i would like to welcome you aboard.

You have a good swiss embroidery machine and yes, your software can digitizing to your basic needs, i am not sure how good the software is because i haven't used it before. But as the website lists the features, i think it should be a pretty good one.

Here's the link to your software page on the manufacturers site:
Xpressive: http://elna.com/en/software/emb_software/xpressive
Xpressive II: http://www.elna.com/en/software/emb_...re/xpressive_2

If you own Xpressive II , here is the English documentation version
http://direct.elna.com/files/docs/in...ion_manual.pdf

There is no documentation for Xpressive. I think Xpressive will be similar, so maybe you can use the same documentation.
