New with Toolkit 4

I have wasted my money on several other embroidery lettering programs - including one that tries to imitate BuzzWords stitch font mapping feature. However, NONE of them come close to the simplicity and ease of BuzzWord. Stick with BuzzWord - you won't be sorry. The software is easy to use and the Buzz Tools staff is terrific!

I absolutely would not get as much use out of my embroidery machine if I didn't have Buzz Tools software. I am a quilter and use BuzzWord for all kinds of projects. It makes beautiful labels for my quilts. I usually design the wording on my label and add a border or corner design to make the label look really nice.

I was given BuzzWord as a Christmas gift, I have been using it to put names on towels, also on Christmas stockings, its easy to use, the fill stitches are very good, the sizing is excellent, saving to files is handy, I also have Buzz Size & Buzz Explore

I've had BuzzWord for some time now, and just got the new Font Pack for Christmas!!! Yeah!! I LOVE your software and have been thrilled with the success I've had with BuzzWord! I can easily import design files, add text, move things around, and change colors. It's amazing and super easy! Thanks so much for the wonderful products!

When I heard the term “mapping a font” I thought I would need a GPS for my computer. Adding all the individual letter files I had saved to a folder was so easy using the wizard in BuzzWord. My 4 year old grandson likes to sing the alphabet as I “map” the designs to the keys on my keyboard and now I can line up monograms and names with these purchased fonts in no time flat! I should have known Buzz Tools would have found an easier way for me to do this! Thanks!

I am an avid user of Buzz Tools software. My favorite right now is the new Buzz Word. It takes all the tedious work out of creating monograms. You can create words to embroidery on wall hangings, clothing, etc as fast as you can type. You just import the alphabet letters, tie them to your keyboard with key strokes.

Just wanted to thank you for quick and easy transaction with Buzz Tools. I have begun using my BuzzWord software and found it to be the easiest embroidery software ever. I have used a lot of other software programs with the free trials and wasted a lot of time when I should have just gone with you straight away, A very happy customer thank you, Joanna
