Here’s what Creative team member Lori Aragon has to say about the Designer Edition:

I’d like to share a couple of reasons why I use and LOVE the Silhouette Software *Designer’s Edition:

1. Although I didn’t need it for this project, I really like the ability to import svg files. There are lots of FREE files out there and many times they are svgs!

2. I frequently use the guides and rulers. When resizing or making sure things will be in the right place, these are indispensible! Grids are helpful too, but with the Designer’s Edition, you can go further with your creating 🙂

Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Plus

3. Lastly, I simply like all the bells and whistles lol! If I had to decide all over again, I would definitely purchase the Designer’s Edition. I’m very happy I did!!!
