    Thousand thank you's........ I am late to the party, but I am grateful for your description how to use the BX fonts in Embrilliance. I've used Embrilliance for the past 6 years but had not paid much attention to the BX fonts or why I needed them, but today it all clicked and I successfully installed 5 DBJJ BX fonts ( 1/4") into Embrilliance in about 1 minute! This is a game changer! Thank you..... once again you are teaching an old dog new tricks! Appreciate you, as always.

    I absolutely love the quilt you did with the bees! I love bees. I go Wednesday to have a heart cath done for the second time. I love the new heart surgeon in B.R. now. I don't have to go to New Orleans to see that specialist surgeon anymore. I have obstructive cardiomyopathy and it's caused the wall that devides the 2 chambers to become thick and hard. They will see with the heart cath if the can do an alcohol injection to destroy that part of my heart or if the have to open me up and remove the tissue that is beginning to block off my mitral valve and aortic valve. I asked the doctor if he could use tequila for the alcohol injection. 😂😂😂 He just laughed. I'll just be happy when something can be done because this is causing it to be harder for me to breathe. Cross you fingers and I don't mind prayers. Have a great week Becky. 💗😊💗

  • @jennystrahley927
    @jennystrahley927 Год назад

    Becky, I'm trying to learn how to use my Brother PE800. I've read through the manual and watched several YT videos that people have shared on this model. And I've stitched out a couple of designs. I'd really like to make embroidered labels for my quilts so I'm glad that I found this older video of yours. I'm subscribed already to your channel so I've seen you talk about Embrilliance and Scan & Cut but didn't understand because it didn't relate at the time lol. Now I'm seeking knowledge, and with this video and another one I just watched where you shared DBJJ customizable quilt labels, I think I'm starting to get it. My PE800 came with a free download for BES Blue Software, which I think is the same as BES4 but I'm not sure. I'm not finding much information on Brother's website about the software--either I can't find it or else they don't have good tutorial information out there.
    Ok so finally my question: if I purchase the quarter inch fonts with the BX font will I be able to use them with my BES Blue Software?

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  Год назад

      BX fonts are proprietary to embrilliance software and cannot be used with BES software.

  • @k9momof5
    @k9momof5 4 года назад +1

    Becky, I don’t know if this has already been mentioned, but to download BX into Embrilliance, you don’t need to click and drag. You also don’t need to have Embrilliance open. All you need to do it double click on the BX file font/size, and it will automatically add it into Embrilliance. It will open up Embrilliance with the first double click, and then you need to click on the OK radio button so it will allow you to continue to add others. I hope that helps/makes sense?

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад +1

      Thanks! I hadn't seen that method so I tried it and it worked great! I didn't realize that double clicking the font after download would launch the app. Anything to save a few clicks :-) I learn so much from all of you. lol Love it.

    This is so helpful. Question: You can save the entire "typed label" on the USB drive and load it into the machine? We don't need to save it line by line and then print separately? I have a PE700 that I'm enjoying and to be able to make quilt labels is a definite plus!! Thanks.

I'll let you know how I make out! Many thanks!!

  • @lindabridges445
    @lindabridges445 4 года назад +1

    Thank you for the info about 1/4" being available and how to download. I have been having a terrible time lately. Question though.....Why did you make your label with separate objects? I usually hit enter for the next row for my placement of words using the text button. It become one design but still editable if adjustments are needed. Just curious about your decision to make them separate.

  • @kathybothwell4489

    Embrilliance software vs simply applique? Do you need both

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад

      I have both. Embrilliance will not import the .fcm file created by the cutting machine and create an applique embroidery file for that. For applique quilters, having both and letting them compliment each other is the best of both worlds in my book. :)

  • @lindatreggett2604
    @lindatreggett2604 4 года назад

    Becky,
    I love your videos and appreciate when you can do a hands on tutorial on Embrilliance.
    Thank you for the heads up about the sale on Embrilliance Essentials. I was considering getting it and that got me to go ahead and purchase it now.
    Question, what add ons to the software do you suggest, just the basics please. I think thumnailer is a must. Does it come preloaded with font capabilities?

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад

      Thumbnailer is just a utility that allows you to see images on the screen of what the design is. Yes it is a must, but it does nothing else. It does not interact with the Embrilliance embroidery software in any other way. Since you're in the market, I recommend you start with Essentials and choose Enthusiast as an add on. Enthusiast has a precise positioning system that I use all the time. It can work without Essentials, but then you wouldn't be able to merge designs like you can in Essentials. So start with Essentials and then go from there. :-)

Only does embroidery. What do you think? I wish I could wake up and find your sewing room and your brain. Youra very smart lady

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад

      If you want to invest in a new machine because you want bigger hoops or a newer "power tool" then do so. But I don't recommend investing in a new machine because your old software won't work on a new computer. You might give Embrilliance Essentials a try. It's less than $200 and works for all embroidery machines without a dongle. You can be up and running in just a few minutes after downloading the software. Embrilliance is a third party embroidery software that works for all brands of machines and saves to all embroidery file types. The company is very good about keeping their software current with the computers of the day so it never gets old.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад +1

      A quilt label is a scrap of fabric that you attach to the back of your quilt. It might say who the quilt is for, who made it, the pattern, and the date.

  • @kmck54

    I have embrilliance essentials and stitch artist (1). Why would you use simple appliqué instead? Trying to decide if getting simple appliqué is worth the purchase.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад

      I have Stitch Artist 1 as well and was just reading over the Embrilliance platform manual. I see where Stitch Artist can save to an .fcm file to export to cutting machines to cut fabric for a pre-digitized applique embroidery file. However, I don't see where you can reverse the process to import an .fcm file into Embrilliance to make it become an applique which is what you need to create an applique from a paper pattern. If I'm missing something and you figure it out, let me know! :-)

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад +1

      I used a basic embroidery thread from Brother. Nothing fancy but usually a thinner thread will make the smaller letters look better. Artistic Digitizer uses Open Type fonts and True Type fonts natively and it says any other type font but I don't know about BX fonts. I know in some software there's a way for you to assign a keyboard key to each letter to then type out a phrase but I'm not sure about AD.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread

      Yes. Embrilliance is what's called a "Third Party Software". That means it is not proprietary to any brand of machine. It will work for both Mac and Windows, and it will save to any embroidery file format for all machine types, including Pfaff. Give the freebie Embrilliance Express a try. Create a label and save to your Pfaff's .pcs file format to see. Good luck!

  • @paulajohnson420

    Hey Becky, Do you think Embrilliance is easier than BES4? I have BES4 but I don't find it to be user friendly. I noticed your SUBSCRIBE FLAG in the background, yeah it's a tad bigger than Vivmom's pillow!! You're funny!!!

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  4 года назад +1

      I don't have BES4, but since Simply Applique is a module of BES4, I have an inkling of how it behaves. So yes, I do find Embrilliance easier to use. I've had things in Simply Applique go weird on me when I wasn't looking. Having all the properties on one side of the screen in Embrilliance also helps so I only have to check in one spot which is easier for my brain to manage vs. looking back and forth to make sure everything is in the right place. I hope that makes sense. If you have any BX fonts (they don't have to be from JuJu) give the express a try and see if you don't find it easier.

      Oh she's much better! Thank you. She's bringing her baby out for a squeak and a tug which she hasn't done in months and she's seeming more like her old self. Still on reduced pain meds, but she gets her stitches out on Thursday 6/25 and then will begin water swim therapy in the pool. We brought her life jacket back from the coast last weekend. It has a handle on top so we can take her around the pool while she works that knee. Thank you so much for asking. We're so relieved!
