Embrilliance Essentials is a sewing and embroidery design software - compatible with both Mac and PC - that will give you a lot of flexibility if you are trying to merge applique or embroidery designs.
I use it with my Brother SE2000 and Brother SE600 embroidery and sewing machines.
There's a free version of Embrilliance, but if you want a lot more features you'll want to do the one time paid upgrade to Embrilliance Essentials. In this tutorial I'll show you how to download Embrilliance Essentials for beginners on a Mac. The process is essential the same on PC.
You want to start by purchasing the upgrade to Embrilliance Essentials. You can do that here. After your purchase you'll get a license key code. Hold onto that code while you do the next steps.
To start go to the Embrilliance website and locate the Downloads page on the top menu bar.
In the middle of the page find the correct version of the Embrilliance Essentials software that matches your operating system.
If you're not sure go to the About this Computer on your computer (little Apple in the very top left corner of a Mac) and verify your operating system.
Click the correct download link to match your OS to begin downloading Embrilliance.
What's downloading is the free "Express" version of Embrilliance. We'll upgrade it to Essentials later in the process so you have more features and tools.
On your computer locate the download where your Downloads typically go.
Double click the installer file to begin the installation and then follow through the on screen prompts.
If it asks you for a password during any of the steps, this is your computer password.
You'll get a confirmation message that the software installed successfully.
To launch the software and to upgrade to Embrilliance go to your Applications folder and find the Embrilliance software. Double click it to launch.
In the box that pops up to enter the license number, this is where you'll enter the Esssentials upgrade license key if you purchased one.
Click Continue when you're done and the software will open.
