New Embroidery Machine

I just purchased the new Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond Embroidery Machine. I am quickly learning all the new additions compared to the Designer SE. I upgraded to the 5D software. I am currently working on digitizing "Groovy 60's" designs for use on clothing items, etc. The gradient tool on the 5D software is great for these designs as I can get a tye dye look. I do find however that you have a bit of editing to do depending on the angle of the stitches. I'd love to hear from embroidery enthusiasts about your work.
