Purchasing the embroidery software lets you make a one-time purchase so you can keep it forever, free of monthly charges. On the other hand, opting for a mySewnet subscription -- which starts at USD 24.99 $/month -- ensures you always have access to the latest version of the embroidery software, complete with regularly enhanced features. Plus, you get a full access to 6,000-plus unique, high-quality embroidery designs, which you can take complete advantage of through a mySewnet-enabled machine.
