Embrilliance Essentials is a fabulous embroidery editing software. But just because it is $139 doesn't mean that it isn't packed with powerful tools. You can change colors, resize, merge designs, and add text, just to name a few.
One of the best parts of Embrilliance is that it is very easy to use. This tutorial shows how to add text to an existing embroidery design using Embrilliance Essentials.

This is the basic design. I want to personalize it by adding a baby name and year. Start by opening the design in Embrilliance.
To create text, click on the Font icon (the capital A) on the menu tab. That brings up a LETTERS component in the PROPERTIES tab. That automatically places an "ABC" in the design screen. You can then use the text pull-down menu to choose one of the fonts that are installed. You can easily drag and drop purchased BX fonts into Embrilliance to add to the font choices.
Type the text you want into the TEXT box. Adjust the sizing to fit where it is placed.There are other adjustments you can make to the text like spacing of the letters, slant, and arcs (more on those later).
You can change the text itself and the fonts that are used. I chose to place the year in the center of the buggy and opted to use just a monogram on top instead of the full name.
