EmbrillianceEssentials, Embroidery Software for Mac & PC

I was seeking software to edit purchased embroidery designs. I am not a digitizer. I purchase embroidery designs and edit them. I can change colors, remove text, add text, merge designs, create custom thread palettes, etc. Many possibilities. This software is functional & user friendly. There are many instructional videos available online. Learning curve was quick.

I ordered enthusiast soffware first and came back to order the basicI wanted to size my design and the fonts are beautiful

If you embroidery, you absolutely should get this software! I use it with every project. I rarely have to buy new embroidery designs because I can recreate them from an old one and combining them! I’m still learning how to use it and the tutorials are awesome at teaching me!

I ordered the Stitch Artist by Embrilliance first and then decided that I needed more fonts, etc. so I ordered Essentials. I am really glad I did. This thing I like about Embrilliance software is that it comes in modules. In the past I haven't ordered embroidery software from other places because it is so expensive. The price of some of the software out there is overwhelming and possibly difficult to learn. Embrilliance, because it does come in the form of modules makes it more affordable to purchase. I have found it very easy to learn and use. There are many YouTube videos out there giving tutorials and that is fantastic. I would highly recommend Lisa Shaw from Sew Bubbles. Her videos have launched me into the world of machine embroidery. Essentials is a basic starting point for machine embroidery. It comes with quite a few fonts and that is great. Also, resizing is easy. I found the "merge" feature to really come in handy. I am a novice at machine embroidery but with Embrilliance Essentials and Stitch Artist I am already on my way to greater things with my embroidery/sewing machine. I really like this software and am glad I purchased it.

I purchased Thumbnailer first and liked it so well I also purchased Embrilliance. I wish I had bought Embrilliance before I paid a fortune for Floriani Total Control Universe. I am not a professional digitizer and do not aspire to be one - I was looking for something to assist in layout and customization of my designs and my dealer sold Floriani. It is a great program and if you are a professional I highly recommend it. But, if you are creative and just want to get more out of your embroidery machine buy Embrilliance and use the money you save to buy designs and supplies. You will not be disappointed. It is intuitive to use and one nice surprise I discovered (so far) is the feature that directly imports the Designs by Juju fonts I own into Embrilliance. I can now use the fonts easily by simply typing in my text. No more placing a single letter file one at a time to construct my desired text. Love this product and works really well on my souped up second hand iMac. Great product!

So I still have a lot to learn but this is an amazing product! I have tried so many programs that were cheaper and I’m hear to tell you now this is worth the money! Also if I would have know that spending the extra money would have saved me so much hassle and time I would have done it first! Also easy to download even if you computer doesn’t take cds it gives you the site to digitally download it in the package. I’m not computer savvy and there are tons of you tube videos that will walk you threw anything your trying to accomplish! Again I can’t say enough about this product. One last thing Embrilliance has other programs that you can buy to add onto this program as you learn it and venture out to do more and more things. I would recommend any newbee to embroidery to buy this program!

I haven't used the software very much, so my review may not be entirely fair. What I have seen, I like very much. A YouTube Video seemed more informative than the written instructions. One thing I noticed was that when you print out the design, the hoop outline does not appear. Without the hoop outline, it's difficult to see where the center of the design will fall. Since I haven't used the software much, that may be due to my lack of knowledge. I especially like that you can import BX font formats very easily into the software.

I needed a lettering program after my computer lost everything on it. Had old lettering software that can't get anymore. This has more than I need. It has mammogram and several other things that I don't need but if you were to buy it is great. I'm too old to learn the other stuff but looks like an easy program to use.!
