Will you demo on a MAC or a PC?

Both! When there are differences between the two platforms, I'll demonstrate on both a MAC and a PC.

"Wonderful instructions! I have had Embrilliance for probably four years and watched every video I could find but never learned half of these functions!"

- Diane

"I would highly recommend this class for anyone already using Embrilliance Essentials or for new machine embroidery hobbyists wondering what is the best software. I have had other embroidery software before which was several times more expensive that Essentials & after taking this class I feel I have much more control of the designs I stitch out than I ever did with the more expensive software."

"Julie has a gift for breaking things down for those just exploring embroidery, and embroidery editing with Embrilliance. I couldn’t be happier with my new-found level of confidence and competence!! I’m already digging in and customizing things I had no idea I could personalize ♥️. Thank you Julie!!!."

"This course was very informative. I am computer illiterate and by the end I feel I can do all I was hoping for. Julie is great at teaching and moves at a slow pace which is exactly what I need.."

- Shirley

"I have been frustrated with Embrilliance because I know there is a lot in Essentials that I don't know and have had no real place to learn. You tube videos are such short segments on one particular aspect. I liked how you started at the beginning and walked us through slowly and carefully. Just what I needed."

"This is my 2nd course with Modern Makers, and I will continue to take Modern Makers courses. Julie is easy to follow and welcomes your questions. I promise you will learn."

- Jeanette

"Julie’s courses are perfect for the person who wants to learn to machine embroidery. Her instructions and goals are clear and the examples are fun to make and provide great practice for new skills. My abilities and knowledge have definitely grown. Great for a beginner or even for one with more experience—Julie has so much to teach and great advice and knowledge to share."
