Embrizo

PREMIER+ 2 alternative: auto-digitize in your browser

PREMIER+ 2 is the embroidery software family that Husqvarna Viking and PFAFF sold for Windows and Mac, from PREMIER+ 2 Embroidery up to PREMIER+ 2 Ultra. It has since been superseded by mySewnet Embroidery Software (now CREATIVATE), and retailers and users report that new copies can no longer be activated. Here's how it compares with Embrizo, and when each one is the better choice.
