PREMIER+™ 2 Common Features
PREMIER+™ 2 Embroidery software is technically advanced and sophisticated yet easy to use. All the PREMIER+™ 2 Embroidery System packages contain these Common Features:
Real-world view — See special effects in three dimensions as you create your project, including puffy foam, appliqué fabrics and decorations like beads, sequins, hotfix crystals and nailheads. View designs with special felting, cutwork, twin and wing needles, or with techniques such as dual threads. Store special effects and colors right in your .vp4 files.
In Life View, see your project in real-world perspective, varying the angle of the embroidery. Watch Solar Active and Glow in the Dark threads change! See designs “stitching” on screen including stitchout hints with the Design Player.
Obtain pictures from social media and share pictures and videos of your projects on popular social media sites (Facebook®, YouTube®, Flickr®, Twitter®).
The ribbon bar in many modules makes the programs easy to use. On Windows® 10 and Windows® 8 and Mac® touchscreens, use touch gestures such as pinch Zoom, Autoscroll, and Select and Move.
Choose colors — view your threads including metallic, multicolor and varying thicknesses in your preferred real-life hoop. Design with your choice of over 21,000 threads, even specialty threads, from 39 manufacturers or design multiple personal palettes. Adjust color tone, brightness and contrast to automatically select new threads.
Multi-Part Design Saving — design parts stay separate when you save, open and copy, allowing individual parts of a design to be modified after saving. Easily load and save most popular embroidery formats; Export is optimized for sewing.
Friendly, helpful tooltips and extensive program help are built right in, plus Comprehensive User’s Guides and an Online Learning Center. You will automatically receive the latest tools and improvements with Smart Update.
