I have Embrilliance Essentials and the Alpha Fonts. Purchased both in December 2013. I like it so far. I use it for editing...i dont digitize. (At this level, it is not a digitizing program. ). There is a Forum on their website. Very helpful. It has all hoop sizes loaded into it. You do have to identify YOUR hoop size when setting up your designs. I used to use Janome Customizer...still have it. I am learning Embrilliance one day at a time,... as I do with any program.
