Re: 4D/5D vs Floriani Software
Just saw your post. I've used Brother PE-Design, Pfaff 3D/4D, and now Floriani Embroidery Suite Pro. Floriani is easier by far. First and foremost, you do all your work in one window rather than in separate windows for separate programs/editing/inputting. Secondly, you work with shapes rather than points to edit your work. It's chock full of features and updates are free.
As to Floriani Total Control, the only real difference between that and the Pro is that FTC allows you to do chenille and sequins, but obviously you must have a machine/attachments that can embroider that work. It also will do embossing lines (and FESP doesn't), but it doesn't seem worthwhile to purchase a whole new program for that one feature. Floriani has promised an update to FESP at the end of October 2010 and hopefully that will include embossing lines.
