My wife has had a Baby Lock embroidery machine for a few years now. She also has the Floriani software that’ll let you convert regular images into embroidery patterns the machine can work with. Now she wants a drawing tablet for creating and modifying designs.
She uses her machine for everything from clothing to 3D interlocking decorations. I can hear her machine going right now in the other room making shadow boxes for Christmas.
What drawing tablet would you recommend?
She has a dual boot Windows/Mac MacBook so I’m not too worried about compatibility. She doesn’t have a particular model in mind and says she’s open to ideas because she hasn’t looked yet and doesn’t know what to expect. The only requirement might be that it uses a stylus. She asked for something basic: “color fills/lines and easy editing.” It’s for Christmas so I can’t ask her too many obvious questions, that’s why I’m here hoping you’d have similar needs/wants.


If you have any tablets in the house, most of them can function as drawing tablets with the right digital pencil /stylus.
If you don’t have any, then you can make a decision on: stand-alone tablet, tablet with screen or no screen tablets. Those can influence the price a lot of ways.
