🎉 Welcome to Embroidery Legacy Software
Congratulations on downloading Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software!
This program was designed by John Deer to simplify the digitizing process and make creating your own custom embroidery designs faster and easier than ever before.
The first thing you’ll likely notice when you open the software is the clean, modern interface.
If you were a chef, it would be difficult to cook in a cluttered kitchen. The same idea applies here. We simplified the workspace so you can focus on creating designs instead of fighting complicated tools.
There’s a lot more waiting for you inside the demo.
Open the program, explore the tools, and start getting comfortable with the layout. We think you’ll love what you see.
Hotkeys Cheat Sheet
Learning a few simple keyboard shortcuts can make digitizing much faster and smoother.
Keep it beside your computer so you can quickly reference the most useful shortcuts inside the software.
