Embrilliance Thumbnailer, Embroidery Software for Mac & PC

I bought a used iMac from the Goodwill and wanted to use it for my embroidery designs and digitizing. It was not until I completed my hard drive and memory upgrades that I realized my design software (Floriani Total Control Universe) is not Mac compatible. So...I did a little research and decided to purchase Thumbnailer which is wonderful and allows me to see my designs while brousing design files. That was such a game changer that I went all in and also purchased Embrilliance. Both are great products for a fraction of the cost - wish I had bought this software first. I am not a serious digitizer, but the programs work well for all my needs. With Thumbnailer I can quickly find the designs I am looking for without a lot of unnecessary file name changes and sub folder creation. I sort my designs by vendor and I use the iMac file tag feature to attach a category to the file name. I now have a visually searchable design database that really helps me get to the fun part and start stitching.

This is a real time-saver for machine embroidery. So easy to install and use and you can actually see a thumbnail of your file rather than just a file name. Could not function without this program! Looking through hundreds of files without seeing a picture is impossible. Worth every penny. Also have Enthusiast and it is also a great program.

I was so tired of not being able to see all the embroideries on a disk or stick. Now I can see exactly what is on it and not have to pull up each individually.

A little tricky but not too to install. After installation works as desired. The patterns show up in the Explorer right away. The colors are a little odd but that may be my computer. There is not a lot of detail but that doesn't bother me I know what it should look like. Very happy. Since this little program worked so well I bought the Essentials program and am working through that to see what it does. Seems to be good and documentation is, so far, very good.

It worked on my windows 10 with no problem. Sadly broke up so on my windows 11 not matter what I do I went thru lots of videos on YouTube and nothing works. It doesn't read my megabundles etsy designs.
