I am researching embroidery machines and even spent some time chatting with a shop yesterday when I took my machine in for its fall cleaning. All they knew was that the machines all seem to work with Windows. They tried to call the manufacturer, but just got voicemail. Not very helpful.

I don't know if I am really serious about a purchase or not but would like to know if any of the machines can work with a Mac. I saw one Mac software on the Internet, but have no idea if the software has to be purchased separately or how that would work.

I love my Mac and would hate to have to purchase a Windows laptop just for an embroidery machine. I don't live close to any shops, so it is difficult to "shop around" for information. I am reluctant to branch out to embroidery due to the situation....especially as it would be difficult to get to classes to learn to use the machine/software. I thought I would ask here and perhaps get some guidance. Maybe someone could point me in a direction of a machine or company I could check out.

Thanks for any guidance.
