Sabrina Willis what did Embrilliance tech support suggest? Http://embrilliance.com/contact-us/

Hello - No each program has a job - I tried to explain this at the start of the video :-) Essentials does not do what Enthusiast does and Enthusiast does not do what Essentials does, for example. This video highlights SOME of the major features of each program.

StitchArtist L3 contains all of StitchArtist L3. www.Embrilliance.com/StitchArtist for the list of all the features and functions. It does NOT contain any of the customizing programs shown in the video such as Essentials or Enthusiast.

Sounds like you need to start with Level 1 of Stitch Artist and probably Essentials.

Yes, the Embrilliance programs save to all the home formats. More information can be found on the Embrilliance website.

No. As explained in the video, Thumbnailer is simply provides a picture of your design in Finder or Windows File Explorer.

The video explains in detail that each program has its own set of features. StitchArtist 3 has the features of StitchArtist 3. Enthusiast does the Enthusiast functions. There is no "Basics" but if you mean Essentials, that too has its own different set of features. If the video does not make this clear, please visit the Embrilliance website to read what each program does. Hope this helps!

Each program is a "full version". You get the program to do what you want. More information is on the Embrilliance website.

I think it depends on how much you want to manipulate your designs, and if you want to do any of your own digitizing from scratch. It's a modular system so you can just start with Essentials and be able to do all the basic tasks. Try making a list of all the features you MUST have and see which modules you'll need. I got level 1 Stitch Artist for digitizing, Essentials, and Enthusiast. I plan to get more add ons next year (maybe for my birthday if I'm lucky!).

I went with hatch. From what I can tell, the repositional hooping is easier in embrilliance for a 5x7 sewing field. I may need to get essentials so I don't have to re-hoop. I'm learning. If you figure it out, would love to know about that.

Yes each program has a job

@@Embrilliance Any idea on what type of specs I need for a computer to run both programs?

Visit Www.kzfaq.info for this info and to chat with support using the contact us link

Joan Kirtley yes Monday’s on my @sewbubbles page.

Sure seems like "thats all you need". At beginning of video, all I thought I needed was essentials!

You would need to have StitchArtist. Be sure to check out the Start link on the Embrilliance website. Beginner information including the hitchhiker's guide. www.Embrilliance.com/start

Every time I write what I want to embroider ,the ABC will not go away Without taking the whole thing away I’m trying to do a quilt for my husband’s 65th birthday and I had the kids all write a sentence of what they thought of their dad I can copy it onto material on my printer but it would be so much nicer to embroider it especially since you just bought me a beautiful embroidery machine can anyone helpPlease?

I used to use the Husqvarna Viking 3D Pro software, then 6D. I agree the Embrilliance Essentials will give you many of the functions you're accustomed to. I really like that Embrilliance lets you add on features for much less $ than HV and it won't become obsolete and require a pricey upgrade like HV software. The promise of that ongoing support is what finally helped me decide on Embrilliance. I found the transition pretty easy, just getting to know the Embrilliance icons took time and going through tutorials-I'm still working on that. :-) If you can find a lightly used Designer with the USB upgrade (that works, sometimes they're finicky) it can be a good value. After a long break from embroidering I considered the same option but after reading lots of reviews of new machines and watching the Sewing Mastery machine tutorial videos, I ultimately bought a Designer Topaz 30. It's a more recent model w/ a USB built in and has very large embroidery hoop options, making it a really good value when purchased second hand. I bought a second one with even less use from a local quilter and am selling my other Topaz 30 on ebay. Don't need 3 Vikings! I have a Platinum 735 I use for sewing when my Topaz is embroidering and I'm in hurry. You mentioned moving your files from floppies to your laptop. Whatever you decide you may want to back up you library of designs on a flash drive just in case something happens to your computer. I like to keep mine in neatly organized folders on USB stick I use to move designs from laptop to Topaz, and back up on my laptop. Happy stitching!

@@suettle thanks for the info, my sewing center is selling a designer se that has the USB for 1200., I'm not sure how old it is, but he is giving a year warranty also. Right now cost is the biggest issue, I'm retired and living so social security, I'm not computer savvy so I will try to put disc's onusb stick at least those that I want to save. But I do think I will purchase essentials I think I will be able to learn, it is like the customizing program tha4t I bought with my designer 1. I really only want to be able to get designs from computer to machine maybe add words and do a little design merging. My brain at my a g e can't handle an overload of info, again thanks.

@@sherriwolters5306 If cost is a major issue since you're on a fixed income and right now you only want to transfer designs from disk to USB, Viking offers a free basic software download. You can ask your dealer to help you set it up when you buy the machine. An SE w/ USB is probably around 13 years old but should still be going strong. When you're ready to do lettering then get the Embrilliance modules you need. 🙂

Maybe you need them all :) some have made a list of things they want to do in their software. Now prioritize that list into today, next month, next year or way in future. Look at the stuff in the today list and check to see which title does most if not all of those things. Most people start with Essentials for customizing and Thumbnailer to see their designs. Then they add to that based upon what they find they want to do next! Hope this helps!

I hope you reached out to tech support at www.Embrilliance.com/contact-us It works for me and I don't know how to trouble shoot your computer, sorry!

Linda Whitlow ive dome hours of videos on the Embrilliance KZfaq channel. The platform is all installed programs. The description tells you which I’m in or I mention it in the video. If you are fast forwarding you probably missed some info.

Linda Whitlow there is no switching programs. When you add a module it’s added to the platform.

To show how it works on either operating system

The Embrilliance website has a page for each program. Each program is sold separately because not everyone wants to spend so much money to get everything if all they want to do is open a design, resize it and add a name :-) www.Embrilliance.com/start is where I would start my journey.

Tracy Miller www.Embrilliance.com If you need further assistance I would click on contact us while you are on the website

go to: embrilliance.com ... you can find it in their PRODUCT section and you can see the prices and order from there.

I just bought Brea to essentials and learning how to use it so far I think it’s great .A lot to learn I’m a beginner and an old one.
