Open the Door to Creativity
I love this program. Embroidery dot com offers an excellent 15-day, free tutorial for it which I’m following right now. The program is fairly intuitive. It’s opened many doors for me. I love being able to type on a keyboard to create lettering instead of choosing one character at a time.

Thank you for your feedback

    If you do machine embroidery, this is a must have! You can use any design you already have and customize it in so many ways. Adding font, resizing, change colors and so many other things you can do! Easy learning curve. It seems pricey but believe me it is so worth it.

    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 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!

    I have some free design tools, but I haven't used them much and I found myself in a situation where I needed to help a friend out on a deadline. After fighting the software I had, I went ahead and got this software instead, and I'm glad I did. It made joining designs, adding text, and personalizing so much easier than my other software. It was intuitive to use. I was able to apply affects, edit, and resize with ease. I don't know yet what all it can do, but I'm very happy with what I've seen so far and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone new to machine embroidery.

    This is the best embroidery software for every level of user, very easy to use and learn. The more I've used, the more I like. It provides various function to help you to achieve your design idea. The best part about this product is you can get learning resource easily through Youtube as long as you type the right key word for your question. Before I purchased it, I was worried about learning barrier as I knew nothing about embroidery and even did not know how the computer embroidery machine works. I had to learn from beginning a little by little. Fortunately, this product provides such a convenience for user.
    I also want to mention about Embrilliance company's technical support team. although I did not purchase this item directly from them, but they were very responsible and respond promptly– reply at the same day or next day with detail and right-to – the point answer, very knowledgeable and professional.

    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.
