Due to lack of response, the "Pay As You Go" program has been discontinued.

I guess we were ahead of our time once again.

PowerStitch Pay As You Go

Textile Technologies LLC is pleased to announce the availability of PowerStitch™ "Pay As You Go™" software for embroidery design. PowerStitch is the industry leading embroidery design software for the Macintosh only. We have been around since the original 128k Mac and are currently working on a Rhapsody/Mac OS X server product.

PowerStitch is a CAD program that allows you to take graphic files and convert them into instructions to run a commercial embroidery machine. Everyone has probably seen embroidery on garments but may not understand how it is created. Software such as ours is used to designate where the stitches should be placed and the embroidery machines follow these instructions. There are probably many embroidery shops in your local area. With our software you can design your own logos and take them to these shops to be put on shirts, hats, jackets, bags, etc. Embroidery is normally very expensive because of all the specialized work that it takes to create the designs. Embroidery design software generally sells for thousands of dollars. For example, PowerStitch sells for $12,995. This makes it prohibitive for the regular computer user to try their hand at designing.

PowerStitch "Pay As You Go" changes all that. Simply visit our web site at

http://www.textiletech.com

Download PowerStitch and you're ready to go. Training videos are also on our web site. All features are fully functional except for the ability to export in embroidery machine format. To export your designs simply call us to obtain a access code. You will only be charged for the stitches that you export.

We are looking to completely revolutionize our industry with this new and original concept. Help us get the Macintosh noticed in our industry.
