Description: This is a hands on computer class for Embrilliance customizing software.  We will go through the basics of the Essentials program from opening designs, resizing, adding lettering, and other customizing functions.  From changing colors to adding new colors and working with parts of designs – the learning won’t stop there!  We will get into the sewing simulator and learn how to check out designs before they stitch – yes you can resize but how do you know when its a good idea – or better yet, when you REALLY REALLY should do a test sew to verify its a good idea.  Bring your questions and come ready to learn. There is so much to the programs, and we will cover lots of tips & tricks to help you customize your designs quickly and easily.

I hate to call this a day for beginners because even those who have been using the programs for years will learn advanced tips and tricks.  However, this day is going to start at the beginning and would be great for those new to the Embrilliance programs.

Requirements: Laptop (if you plan to take the class as hands-on), power supply, mouse, mousepad, Embrilliance software installed, authorized, and up to date.  See FAQ below for update information!!  If you do not have Essentials you may want to also download and install the demonstration version from the Embrilliance website.

The demonstration version is DIFFERENT than Embrilliance Express.

How do you know if you are running the demo?  The program icon will say Embrilliance Demo and when you open the program you are prompted to choose which programs you want to try.  If you are prompted for a serial number, that is Express.

We are not stitching anything, so NO machines are used – this is a software only class.  If you are borrowing or using a brand new to you laptop, please take time to become familiar with the computer and how it works before coming to class.  Class files are emailed 10 days before class – with your lunch order information –  so be sure to watch your email and the Embrilliance Educational Opportunities Facebook group!
