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.

    I bought a drawing tablet for an artist in my family, and it prompted a deep drive into the different types and their features.

    One thing I never realised is the screen and pen tips are sort of … Disposable. As in they get more and more scratched as they are used.

    The pen tips should be replaceable and the screen should either be glass or have replaceable screen protectors.

    I ended up settling on this one, as it was the best combination of features and compatibility as well as price.

    I liked that it has a glass screen and comes with the drawing gloves.
