2. Question -  Should I trade in my Embroidery Magic 2  software for Fancyworks Studio?
   Answer -  All of the features of EM 2 are included in  FWS software except for the monogram features.  So if you use and like the monogram feature in EM 2, you would may want to keep EM 2 just for that feature, as it is not included in FWS.  Of course, you can do monogramming files with Fancy Works software, it is just not as quick and easy.
           So if you like and use the monogram features of EM 2, it will only cost you the price that you paid for the software instead of trading it in. If you are comfortable with the features in EM2, my recommendation is that you keep it.

3. Question - Can I open my PPL format files that I have digitized in EM 2 in my new Fancy Works software.
   Answer - Yes, Fancyworks can open all of your ppl files.

4. Question -  I have purchased extra fonts for my Embroidery Magic 2 software,  Will they work in Fancyworks Studio?
   Answer - Yes, all the fonts will work in Fancy Works software just like they did in the EM 2 software, except that monograms files will not be as easy to make.

5. Question - How do I change the color of a section that I have already completed or for a stock design?
   Answer - Just hold down the SHIFT key and left click on a color in the color sequence bar. The objects of that done in that color will now be selected.  Now > Click on the thread cone in the editing toolbar and select a new thread color.

6. Question -  How do I combine colors?
   Answer - First > Hold down on the CTRL key and select the colors in the color sequence bar that you want to combine into one color.
   Now > Click on the thread cone in the editing toolbar and select a new thread color.
               If the colors are in sequence, they will automatically be joined into one color.
   If you want to combine colors that are divided by other colors, you may want to use the "sew before or sew after icon" in the editing toolbar to move each color into the correct position first.
