S & S Computing - Quality Affordable Software
SewWhat! Embroidery Editor

SewWhat! is software for viewing, editing and converting embroidery files arising from various different sewing manufacturers. It can be used to write a floppy disk that is compatible with the HUS Designer-1© embroidery machine. (For questions regarding D1 floppy creation using SewWhat!, please contact Judy.) SewWhat! is compatible with the cataloging program SewCat: files displayed in SewCat can be dragged and dropped into the SewWhat! workspace for editing. For a complete description of the features of SewWhat!, please download the user manual. 

Important note for VISTA users:
Starting with v4.13, the Help files that ship with SewWhat! have been upgraded to chm-format for compatibility with VISTA. You will no longer need to download the WinHelp32.dll from the Microsoft download site to enable the SewWhat! help system on VISTA.
