Editor's review of Buzz Tools Plus

While it won't win any design accolades, Buzz Tools Plus is an effective tool for managing your embroidery designs. The program has a no-frills, yet easy-to-use interface that allows you to catalog, convert, and print embroidery designs. It doesn't provide tools for editing your designs, but you can launch embroidery software directly from the interface.

During testing, the program also did well creating notes for an entire design catalog, such as a sew summary and color breaks. Additionally, Buzz Tools Plus lets you convert your designs into several embroidery file formats, allowing you to work with any embroidery software available. It has a helpful Realistic 3D Thread feature, so you can view designs in 3D. One complaint is the short 21-day trial, but even so, anyone looking to organize and catalog their embroidery designs will appreciate what this program has to offer.
