SewWhat-Pro is software for viewing, editing and converting embroidery files arising from various different
sewing manufacturers. It includes all the features available in the SewWhat! editor, plus various additional Integrated Project Management features (see the description of SewWhat-Pro features
below). A plugin is available from myriaCross (see features list below) for converting Cross-Stitch files to embroidery files. You may download the user manual (last revised Sept. 15, 2008) for more details of the many features available in SewWhat-Pro.

SewWhat-Pro Workspace The SewWhat-Pro workspace is very similar to the one that is used by SewWhat! The two main differences are (1) there are additional toolbar buttons (for cutting patterns, adjusting thread density,
and writing to Smart Media cards); and the Project Pane at the right of the screen includes new Project Management features
(see the figure below).
