I was asked if I could show how to install BX fonts in Embrillance Essentials, so this weeks video is for that. BX fonts are great because once installed you use them just like any other font, so no more having to copy individual letters into your embroidery software one by one, and as EE now has the ability to make our ScanNCut cut files they become even more useful to us. Both of these wall hangings were made using a BX font and Cut files produced by the EE software. #gallery-3273-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3273-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-3273-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3273-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
So a few weeks ago Embrilliance Essentials updated their software to include a feature that allows you to create a ScanNCut appliqué file at the click on one button from within their software.
Ive had the express (demo) version on my Mac for a while, just playing about with the features trying to learn how the software works and I have to say its very easy, but as soon as they introduced the cut file feature I bought the full working version.
With this new feature the Embrilliance software not only creates a cut file but it adds a 1.5mm allowance onto the cut file, this can be reduced down to 0 or up to 3mm if necessary, this feature is great because it ensures that when you are stitching out around your fabric that your machine will catch all the fabric and hold it in place ready for the satin edge stitch.
The video shows you from start to finish how this works.
I have done a video previously showing how I printed a placement line for applqie using the demo version you can find that tutorial here Printing Cut Line for ScanNCut
You can find the Embrilliance software on their website Here
It works on both Mac and Windows and the Express Demo version is a working version but you cannot save anything you create unless you buy the activation code, but you can print from it as I show in the video link above.
Hope you find this helpful.
I’ve made this as a gift for someone, all the appliqué was cut with the ScanNCut all the shapes are my own except the bird which was something I had already and the grass is from the borders in Canvas.
I’ve added two embroidery butterfly’s and free motion quilting.
I love how this has turned out.
