Embrilliance Essentials is machine embroidery design merging, sizing with stitch recalculation, colorizing, lettering, monogramming, conversion, printing and more. Create scenes where designs overlap and automatically remove the hidden stitching. Convert between different embroidery formats. Print templates for design placement. Add Monograms, multi-line text, circular lettering and even spiral lettering using 12 built-in fonts. All the essential tasks used by every embroiderer everywhere. It is not a digitizer, however.

• Appliques can now have a simulated fabric in the Main View

• GigaHoop added to EXP format for those Bernina machines that can use it.
