Does anyone have the Monogram Wizard software? Is it a good tool to have? I have seen it advertised and was interested in how it works, etc. Thanks! Gayle

I have the Monogram Wizard Plus. It is wonderful and very easy to use. The one thing I do not like about it is that if you want to resize a saved design it is easier to just make a new one...but it makes monogram letters up to 10 inches in height. I like the plus because it has 3 formats that you can save in (including PES). The Wiz only has one. It also allows your to add your design in layers. So you can put down a large center initial in one font, and add smaller side initials in another font. I like the shaping tool in the Wizard software...where you can make your monogram in oval, diamond, etc. The fonts are lovely and I highly recommend it. You can look at the program at the source company, NEEDLEHEADS.COM You can also find the name of distributors there and download instructions and a trial version. You should be able to get it for 100 off of retail almost any place...and many of the places that sell it also offer specials that are very tempting. Don't worry about needing lessons on the software. It is very very easy to figure out. I use it a lot and haven't even opened the manual for it (I'm bad).
