According to the publication, products receiving a Best Buy rating merit special attention from consumers based on their combination of eight criteria: performance, ease of use, features, quality of construction, warranty, efficiency, styling, and maintenance and service requirements.

The new 6D Embroidery Software System enables sewers to bring embroidery designs to life in ways previously unimaginable with three distinct packages: 6D Premier, 6D Embroidery Extra, and 6D Embroidery.

This embroidery software system includes "Life View," which provides a real-world, three-dimensional view of embroidery designs, including varying angles and special effects; and the Design Player, which allows sewers to watch as projects are stitched right on the screen.

Additionally, 6D software features a multi-part saving function, giving the user the flexibility to adjust older projects easily, and a special QuiltBlock Wizard, which makes it possible for sewers to create a filled or outlined quilt block automatically.

New stitching features include echo fill, a shadow effect surrounding an embroidery or shape. The 6D Embroidery System also includes fonts and decorative frames specially designed for the popular embroidery foam.
