1. I have used CrossStitch Professional and Stitch Craft Gold. I like the look and feel of CrossStitch Professional, but the Stitch Craft Gold lets me import pictures and makes them into designs. I really like this process, but you have to start with a really small picture or the design it creates gets really large.
2. There are many different programs you can learn to use. Among them are: Pe Design Generations Viking Professional Embird DesignShop Embroidery Software Fancy Works Creative DRAWings 4 Pro Embroidery Digitizing Software Personally, I use Pe Design and I really like it. The only other one I've used was the embird free trial and I found it a little awkward. There are others, but these are the only names I could remember.
3. I use Embird. There is also PE from Brother, Bernina has software, Husqvarna too. I'm not sure what Elna's is.
4. The world's leading software for embroidery currently is Wilcom ES "http://www.wilcom.com.au/". There are other big players in the market but Wilcom is the biggest. And no-one has been a serious threat to them in the last decade (their still on top of the heap.) One to watch though in my view is "i-cliqq"... this software has not even been released yet but from what i have seen and heard of it: ("http://www.i-cliqq.com/" there is some decent videos on this site...) it is definitely one to be watching.... its obviously a very small operation compared to wilcom but some of the things they are doing will shake things up in a big way... keep your eyes peeled.
5. Goodness, I have never even heard of these other software programs. When we purchased the Tajima machine, we purchased Pulse software, Illustrator level. It can do everything. It can do a lot of complicated digitizing. I can even digitize to my old Bernina Deco machine. (course, I need to Little Max to copy to my memory card) www.pulsemicro.com
