It takes time

It took a while to understand it but for the most part, watching all the videos really helped me with learning it.

Need more learning videos

Good from what little I picked up on you tube. Wish there was more fills to choose from along with more learning video’s.

Chroma Luxe

The Luxe program is a must have. It totally removes the limits of mobility and creativity. Yes it is pricey and it should have came with the EMT 1501 but it didnt so if you catch it on sale dont delay. Would have been 5 stars but i didnt like the sales pitch.

Chroma software

Had a brother PE embroidery machine and the leaning curve was much easier but then it came with a detailed instruction manual. That is the biggest “miss” on this software. I thought upgrading from inspire to luxe would help but it’s NO better - took the online training but it’s hard to ask a detailed question when you can only type it and not physically/verbally ask.

Great software

I am happy learning every day something new with this program.
Just get a notebook, take notes and practice to master.
