Dear Cuties, I have a question, would love to know about Wilcom.

Is that too much different than Embird? I applied for a job for digitizer and the ad says that must have knowledge of Wilcom...I applied anyway, but not holding any expectation this time, have had too much disappointment already. Just would be so nice if I could get this job.
Thanks in advance.
Love,
Yoriko

    Hello from France Yoriko, do you remember me ? Well, if you go on Wilcom site, you will see that everybody can download a free very small part of Wilcom called Truesizer. BUT I think this firm use the professional Wilcom either ES45 or ES65 (or Studio). You can have information on the site about what this software can do. It's a really complete embroidery software but rather easy to learn when you already use an other software. Not a lot of us have it because it is VERY exwpensive but so complete and good quality ! I know it and I am sure it will not be so difficult for you to learn it. I have your mail. Do you allow me to send you a mail ? Mine is in my profil.
    Hugs

    Francoise, it seems really a good software, no wonder is so expensive. I hope I'll have a chance to see one at least. Thank you so much, Francoise...yes I remember you. Love,Yoriko

    good luck Yoriko You can do it you are so good at digitizing they would be silly to not give it to you. As the firls said sell yourself ask them to give you a chance it cant hurt.

    Yoriko, I agree with Marji. Make a sales pitch selling yourself, make a nice folder with stitch-outs, put your design on a CD and SHOW them how good you are. It's the way you digitize that's important, not the programme - which can't be too difficult to master in a relatively short time. I went from 3D to Embird - it does not take long to get accustomed to a new programme, believe me, it's knowing the ropes of digitising that pulls you through. Success my friend, love, Martine.

    I can only echo Marji's answer, from the first to the last word. I use DigitiserPro too. Just hold on in there and trust in yourself and your abilities.
    Goods luck and may you find what you're looking for soon.

    Yoriko, I know where you can get 100's of glowing references as to your ability. (Starting with ME) Sorry I'm not a digitizer and can't help you, but someone will wake up shortly and be able to answer your question.;)

    Yo, I use Janome's Digitizer Pro, which is written by Wilcom. I don't know Embird, but I did not find my Digitizer Pro that difficult to learn, and I started from not knowing anything about digitizing. If you learned Embird by yourself, only using some tutorials, I don't think you would have any trouble with Wilcom, other than getting used to where the icons are, the new digitizing screen, etc. That may take a little bit to learn, but my advice is this: Show them your designs that you've done with Embird. Bring a CD with the design files that they can open in their program, and look at the stitches, pathing, etc. They will see what good work you do! Bring some of your stitch outs with you, also, perhaps send them a link to your website with the application so they can see what you've done. If I were the person hiring, I would far rather hire a good digitizer that I'd have to teach to run my program, than a digitizer that was familiar with my program but might only be a fair digitizer. Ok, I know this is hard, Yo, because you've had a lot of disappointment, but you have to be a salesman, and sell yourself! You are a great digitizer, and I'm NOT saying that to be nice, I'm saying that because it's true. All the Cuties know this as well. I know you're a quiet person, kind of shy, but reach way down and find that courage you had when you started your school. Be confident that you can do this, take all your designs with you, and just tell the people "I'm the best person for this job, and here's my proof." Hold your head up, girl, you have a LOT to be proud of! I wish I could be there to tell them so, but because we can't be with you, you'll have to toot your own horn. Be more forward than you think you should be, don't be shy about your talent, ok? Love you, Marji

    Marji, thank you so much for yor beautiful message. I would love to reach them to tell about me. Mostly of ads in Australia, there are only email address and PO box. So they decide from the resume. There are people charging 70-100 dollars to make a resume, so I suppose that is very important, it's your door to jobs here. Maybe my resume is not good enough, maybe I should have someone to make one for me. I did wrote the website address so they can have an idea of the work I have done. Let's see, as I said, I dont want to have expectation...I cried last night when I read the comments on this post, I'm so blessed to have wonderful friends here. Love you too, Yoriko

    Dear Yoriko,
    Merci beaucoup; the version of Wilcom that I have, was a free download, but I love it and can convert easily with it. Will pray that this job works out for you.

    Crossing my fingers that you get the job. You are a very talented digitizer, just show them some of your designs. Get them to ask the Cute's on this site about your designing ability. We all love your designs and would give you a great referral. Good Luck. Hope You get the job. Lynn

    I use Wilcom. As well as Tajima they are great for changing formats or colors if need be.

    I have the Wilcom on my desktop and it is easy Yoriko. I have never used Embird as with my Husqvarna there are a few other programmes I can use. I am sure there will be someone who is a wonderful digitiser who can inform you of the differences.

    I pray that you will get this job - it sounds just right down your alley!

    Love and blessings Chris
