| - As the co-owner of a embroidery screen printing business, I have been on the hunt for a rhinestone software program for over a year. After going to their 'class' at the Indy trade show, my mother and I were convinced these were the guys to go with. As the innovator in the industry (he developed the process) it seemed the only choice. The other guys (TRW and the poser Easy Stone) had evidently copied his software and ideas. Now, the price....its not cheap. This is not for the weekender with the cricut. This is serious, professional software. They are a pretty hard selling bunch of salespeople. I already had a cutter and a heat press so I bought a moderate package. After getting the software, I struggled to get it to do what I wanted right away, which is no real surprise. You don't normally install CorelDraw or a professional software program like that and instantly know how to work it. After going to the training session in my home state, I was convinced to come to Arizona for Bling Camp. This has increased the total price of the software about $800 for flights and the class cost. Thankfully I had reward miles for the flights or it would have been more.
The class was great. Very informative. When Craig says they can get your cutter dialed in to promise 100% weeding on their WonderFlock (which is great) they really can. They tuned my Roland and really improved the performance. Having said that, I wound up buying their Jaguar cutter while at camp. if you are on the fence over what cutter to buy... WAIT and see the Jag cutter at a trade show... I wouldn't have bought my Roland if I had seen the Jag cut in person. The Roland is a great machine-but the Jag, for only $400 more, is a wonderful machine. Well worth the extra money and now I have one cutter to leave at the shop (the Jag) and one to leave in the trailer for shows (the Roland)
Back to the class- I really learned a bunch. They do a great job of explaining "why" you need to do things a certain way in the software, and also there is about 3 ways of doing EVERYTHING in the software!
BOIL-IT-DOWN The software is expensive...but worth it. You want to be serious with your business and your rhinestones, buy from them (specifically buy from Lucas!) The quality of their products from the software down to the stones is top notch. No junk. Quality costs. If aren't concerned with quality and don't want to pay for it, this place isn't for you. If you want top shelf...this is the place.
