Nice tutorial. I was waiting to hear if there are still limitations on the sizing. I am frustrated that the loaded fonts will only reduce to a particular size, and only size out "slightly"....I need to be able to manipulate the sizes with unlimited restrictions? HELP?
Honestly I am not sure about that, but you can ask Embrilliance on their website or their fb page. I know that after they are mapped they become part of the Embrilliance Software font menu, and you can use them with your computer keyboard to create phrases, quotes, etc. to embroider on your projects.
I believe the ability to size a font is connected to the design of the font, and the stitches. Some fonts can be downsized better than others. I am not familiar with other software programs, so I don't know if there are other options out there that allow for more manipulation. Thanks for visiting our RUclips Channel.
Honestly, I am not sure. I use Alpha Tricks as an add on to Embrilliance Essentials, so I think it is just a mapping software, unless you also have the E. Essentials to create the words and phrases. You can contact Embrilliance on their website or their FB page, and they will gladly help you. Thanks for visiting us. :)
I have a Huskvarna/Viking embroidery machine. I have the software program that comes with the machine. I do have many fonts but I do not have a gazillion fonts on the program, since, at that time, I opted not to buy the top of the line option. I love alphabets and have purchased many of them, over time, in the VP3 choice, so that my machine will recognize the format. What I want to know, before purchasing Alpha Tricks is: Can I combine Alpha tricks wording with, let's say, a design I have in my Embroidery Designs file, save it to my Premier Plus program and have my computer export the design to my machine? By the way, I do have an opportunity to download all those files again in a BX format.
I can't answer this question for you. I have only worked with my machine and Embrilliance. There is a group on facebook, Brilliant Embrilliance that provide excellent help regarding the Embrilliance Software, including Alpha Tricks and font files. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
No, the software does not digitize a jpeg. You would need a digitizing program to do that. This software allows for some customization of embroidery designs(which have already been digitized)
Hi I am very new to this.. I have a question.. If I only purchase the alpha tricks part and not the essentials at this time, can I use the pes files that I already have downloaded on my computer? I do not use Mac, I have a dell. I have a small brother machine, SE400 and I have fonts on my computer but the machine requires you to have some type of software to put the letter together to from a name or a word and if you don't have a software program it only prints letters seperately. Please help!
I apologize, but I am not familiar with MacBroidery. I believe Alpha Tricks was developed to work as a stand alone program, or as part of Embrilliance.
I have the Alpha Tricks as an add on to my Embrilliance Essentials.Software, so I can save any combination of letters, words, or designs that I create in the program as a PES file. Alpha Tricks as a standalone does not come with any fonts, but allows you to use fonts you have purchased. You have many more options if you use Alpha Tricks with Embrilliance Essentials. You can find the Embrilliance links on our RUclips Channel and on our website. Thanks for visiting our RUclips Channel. :)
I just bought alpha tricks and for some reason when I choose the font I want and enter the word mom it uses different symbols. any idea why or how I would fix it?

Jennifer Allen Open "import font" box. Select the font you want to delete in the drop down menu, then click the "delete font" button that is on the right hand side of the import box. Close the program, then the next time you open it, that font will be gone.

Thank you for this tutorial. Is there a way to rename the fonts once they are moved to Alpha Tricks? I would like to shorten some of the names.

Oh so nice, thanks Bonnie. The software looks super easy and I like the fact that it's a green light with my Mac.
I'm not sure but there is a serial number required to unlock the software once you purchase it.

thank you for all the info!
Can they be saved as a pes file after you make a word?

@@KnotsKneedles thank you for your response.......
Do you have a video showing how to import a jpeg or other graphic and turn it into an embroidery file? Does this software do that?
No, the software does not digitize a jpeg. You would need a digitizing program to do that. This software allows for some customization of embroidery designs(which have already been digitized)
After mapping, can we save fonts as a .BX file?
I need to know the answer to this.

So does Alfa Tricks only work with Embrilliance, or would it also work for MacBroidery?
I apologize, but I am not familiar with MacBroidery. I believe Alpha Tricks was developed to work as a stand alone program, or as part of Embrilliance.
Is there a dongle with this software?

Can additional files be merged in, such as a .pes file intended for applique? thanks
Cindy Allen I don't do a lot of applique or font embroidery, but you can merge most files without a problem.
I just bought alpha tricks and for some reason when I choose the font I want and enter the word mom it uses different symbols. any idea why or how I would fix it?
mine also puts different alphabets up when i put in a word????did you get a answer?
I can't save file PES on window 8.1 :( Do I need to update window?
I'm sorry I can't help with that question. I suggest you contact Embrilliance support, or their forum.
@@KnotsKneedles All fix. Ty!

What if a font was not mapped correctly & saved? How can I delete that font and start over?
Jennifer Allen Open "import font" box. Select the font you want to delete in the drop down menu, then click the "delete font" button that is on the right hand side of the import box. Close the program, then the next time you open it, that font will be gone.
also how do I change the size of hoop on the screen
Can a font be deleted if done incorrectly?
Kaye Slater I'm not sure I understand your question. Deleted from where?
MacBroidery is a software that was created to only work with the Mac computer. Thanks anyway.
