Colourise your embroidery designs
With just a few clicks, you can transform an entire design to match your preferred thread brand. Want to tweak colours individually within a design? Have a DST file without colours and want to visualise it in color and save a new version? No worries, we've got you covered! You can also create a custom palette manually or by importing a formatted CSV file. If your thread brand isn't listed in the software, simply send us a link to your brand's colour information, and we'll include it in future updates of the Embrilliance Platform.
Applique
Embrilliance Essentials stands out in the embroidery world with its unique applique features. You can take an existing applique design and choose position and material colours, which allows you to remove hidden top-stitches in overlapping appliques while keeping the position and material runs intact. Additionally, you can use the position colour to generate a cutting file with the patent-pending technology. The files created by Essentials are compatible with Brother ScanNCut, Silhouette Cameo, and other cutting machines.
