A stitch in time

An email arrived from a software company offering to sell the Gorse Fox a copy of their wares.

One offering may have been of interest to the Silver Vixen as it was Embroidery software... (though the £1700 price tag ruled it out, practically). However, just because it was Embroidery software doesn't mean that one should not consider it the way other software is reviewed. So in the interest of passing on his skills, here is a checklist for you:
  • Would this software give me the needle?
  • How easy is it to cotton on to?
  • Is it reliable, or does it need patching?
  • Is it stable, or does the screen keep bobbin?
  • Is it multi-threaded?
  • Is it thread-safe?
  • Is it value for money, or are you being stitched up?
  • Is the upgrade process seamless?
