Sewing/embroidery with Mac

I have not heard about any sewing, quilting or embroidery software for Mac. There are some softwares which would help run the windows compatible embroidery programs run on Mac but I do not know of any embroidery software made for Mac. Does anyone have any news about a Mac compatible embroidery software in near future?

There are some native embroidery solutions on the Mac, although they are pretty limited:

As a full featured digitizer, "Embroidery i2" (http://www.embroideryi2.com/) is a plugin for Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw, carrying a huge price tag
To combine existing designs or for lettering, BritonLeap just released "Embrilliance Essentials" (http://embrilliance.com/embrilliance-essentials), conversations between different embroidery formats can be done with "Convert It, Mac" from the same vendor, both for approx. USD 100 - 150
"StitchBuddy" (http://www.stitchbuddy.de/) is a cheaper alternative to merge and modify existing designs, USD 50

This is all native Mac embroidery software, I know of being currently maintained ...

Try Embrilliance. I have it as an editor and they hope to have the digitizing part out soon.
