I
can tell you - there's never been a better time or reason to upgrade
straight to Silhouette Studio Business Edition. With the release of Silhouette Studio V4.2 there are a lot of awesome features - many of them not available in the free basic Silhouette Studio version.
Clicking on any of the "Features" will take you to Silhouette School tutorials on that feature. The Silhouette Studio version that is in parentheses after some of the features indicates when the new feature was introduced (explaining why it might not be found in earlier versions).
