Description:This is a hands on computer class for Embrilliance Enthusiast. Many people know Enthusiast for its patented KnockDown(tm) stitches, but there is so much more to the program and that is what we will be playing with.  We will use Enthusiast to create new designs – without digitizing.  The stitch editing of Enthusiast is a very powerful and creative embroidery tool and that is what we are going to focus on.  From taking apart designs to create mini ones to slightly adjusting stitches to including breaking designs to change the stitching order/layers – think intertwined monogram.

Software covered on Day 2: Embrilliance Enthusiast.  I feel that Essentials has all of the features we essentially use every day.  Enthusiast has its own completely different set of features and that is what this class is going to focus on.

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 all of the customizing programs 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 about 10 days before class along with the lunch order, so please be aware and prepared!
