Embrilliance has several pretty fantastic programs ranging from lettering and basic design editing to digitizing. If there is one of these programs on your Christmas list it should be the Embrilliance Thumbnailer.

At under $40, it will be the best investment of the year. Here is why.

When you look in the directory where your embroidery designs are saved, this is what you see:


It is just a list of file names. Unless you open it on your machine or open it in editing software, how can you tell the difference between Snowball E and Snowball F?

After installing Embrilliance Thumbnailer, this is how the same directory will look:



Now, you can actually see an icon showing what the embroidery design looks like. BIG difference and what a time saver! If that isn't enough of an incentive, the program runs on both Macs and PCs. All you have to do is install it!

There are different ways you can view these design images. The image above showed ICONS.

 

This image shows designs as a SLIDE SHOW.



This one is displayed in COLUMNS. It shows the design that is highlighted.

Once it is installed, Thumbnailer is ready to use and is especially helpful when trying to file and organize your design downloads. (Read this blog for tips on organizing designs.)

If you do not have a cataloging program you can also print out a screen shot of the design folder listing for an excellent reference of your designs. All of this for less than $40 and an instant download? It will probably be the most used item you ever purchased!
