    I have had Designer edition for probably one year now and I was unaware about a lot of the features that I had. I have been tempted to upgrade again as I found a great deal on the Business edition. After you going through the additional features I think I would probably only use the multiple undo button. Also after watching this I should go and see if I can use the additional features I didn’t know I had.

    Question you have your studio with Design Bundles right? What are the differences? Also do you have the Rhinestones tool like they do in the Business Edition? Because I have been with Design Bundles Gold Member for quite a few years now (well actually I need to check and see if I still am because we got displaced during hurricane Ian and lost our housing and belongings so I need to check and see because I was on autopay so I am not sure if I lost it I didn’t have a cutting machine just finally got a new one) anyway I want to know what way I should go because I would like to make Rhinestones Designs so trying to figure out if Design Bundles has that ability to create a Rhinestone templates?

    • @DesignBundles
      @DesignBundles  3 місяці тому

      Hi Nicole! Great question. Silhouette Studio and Design Bundles offer different features. The Business Edition of Silhouette Studio includes the Rhinestones tool, perfect for creating rhinestone designs. If you’re looking to make rhinestone templates, the Business Edition might be the way to go. I'm so sorry to hear about your situation with Hurricane Ian; I hope things are getting better for you. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! ☺️

    • @DesignBundles
      @DesignBundles  4 роки тому

      Hey Happee! The only time you would need to upgrade the software is if you are using a newer machine (I had to upgrade to 4.4 for the Portrait 3). Otherwise, if your machine is cutting with 4.2, you are fine. You can upgrade at any point you choose. I usually wait for an upgrade to be out for a few months because newer upgrades often have bugs to work out. I think the last "stable" version is 4.3.370 if I remember correctly, that's where I would stay unless you have a Portrait 3 or Cameo 4 Pro. Hope this helps! ---Becky

      Great question! I'm always skeptical of any that at "too cheap" if you know what I mean. The lowest price I've seen is around $60, so if it's lower than that, definitely research more into it. It's possible it could be a partial upgrade (like from Designer Edition to Business Edition only instead of from Basic). Hope this helps! ---Becky

    • @DesignBundles
      @DesignBundles  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Carolina! Sorry for the delay responding. I would say you are right, when you create something yourself, the software is reading all those individual pieces you put together. If you have upgraded to the Business Edition, you can save the image as a PNG and import it. It seems like an extra step, but that might be the key to faster printing. It would be similar to bringing in an image from Etsy (or Design Bundles), those would usually be PNG images. Hope this helps! ---Becky
