We understand the importance of intuitive software that can be easily adopted by both educators and students. Wilcom's software features a user-friendly interface, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Whether your students are beginners or experienced designers, they can quickly grasp the software's functionalities and unleash their creativity.

TrueView is great for fashion design students. They can see exactly how a machine will sew out their design and display it for others without sending it off for real embroidering, saving them time and money and teaching them the skills required in the workplace.

The self-explanatory graphics makes Wilcom easy to learn. One of my main joys was to watch a student’s face as they machined out for the first time. It was always the same, a big smile and ‘I don’t believe that I just did that!"
