Kafray Kreations is primarily focused on helping others learn how to use EMBRILLIANCE embroidery software.
Our main social media platform can be found in the Private Facebook group – Interactive Emb with Kafray Kreations.
In this group, we provide a conduit for Interactive Embrilliance learning thru One-on-one Zoom sessions with Marta Kafray in order to allow you to learn Embrilliance at your pace using Zoom!
Here are answers, information and clarification to some frequently asked questions.
To access protected areas of this website, you must be a member of the Facebook group – Interactive Emb with Kafray Kreations. To join the FB Private hidden group, a Friend in the group must send you an invite to join. If you do not have a Friend already in the group, you will have to go to Facebook and add KafrayKreations as a Friend. Then Facebook message KafrayKreations and ask to be invited to the Interactive Emb with KafrayKreations group. (This method is required due to Facebook requirements for members to join a Private Hidden group)
If you change your mind after being added to the group or you feel that this is not a good fit at the moment, then no problem for you to leave the group and re-join at a later date.
Embrilliance does not have to be installed on your device, but it is beneficial.
For productive Zoom sessions, it works best for you to have Zoom running on the same computer as Embrilliance. You will need to have WebCam capabilities for video and microphone. Mac users will need to access System settings to allow Zoom access.
To connect to a session, use the Menu – Interactive Zoom to get to the Zoom page. You will need to enter the password that is mentioned in the FB Interactive Emb group in order to get into the Zoom page found on this site, where the Zoom link is posted.
The Zoom link is also posted in the FB Interactive Emb group. It is pinned to the top and can also be found under Announcements and under Guide #1.
Help getting Zoom to run is extremely limited, but I will try to help. Best way to reach me is to FB message KafrayKreations or send email to mkafray@kafraykreations.com. I do not always receive timely Facebook notifications from posts, so be sure to Tag KafrayKreations in your post, if this is the only method available to you.
There is no fixed limit. Sessions and their length will be based on availability of the instructor, Marta Kafray.
At this time, no tip is expected, but any tips are appreciated and help offset internet and website costs. Acknowledging the time, the commitment, the effort and the knowledge that I am putting in to the group is the important thing, whether it is by joining sessions or posting to the group or by contributing to the TipJar if/when your budget allows.
Being helpful to others is more important to me than the money. I don’t want anyone to not have a session because of money. I go into each session not expecting any tip and figure that if you end up the session with knowledge that helps you save money or make money, then the tip jar is available. Everyone’s budgets vary, some can afford training, others are not as fortunate and can’t really afford the expense. But all of us enjoy being creative and improving our craft and that is what motivates me to help teach and make their craft/hobby/business more efficient and enjoyable.
The TipJar helps to support my “Embroidery addiction” and keep me current with newer modules of Embrilliance.
If, after a session, you want to make a contribution to my TipJar, there are multiple ways.
PayPal / Venmo / Zelle – All three will accept payments made to kafraykreations@yahoo.com
Links can be found under Interactive Zoom, on the Zoom page.
If you use the Embrilliance Affiliate links found on this site, then when you go to their store and purchase directly after clicking on the link, then compensation will be credited to my affiliate account. It does not cost you any extra to use the links found here.
Just an FYI, if you use one of their special coupons, typically 10% off, then compensation/credit will not be given to me, so in that case, you will benefit from the savings but I will not benefit from your purchase. Not fond of that policy, but that is how they have it setup.
If you opt to forego the coupon and order using the affiliate links, please know that I will happily give you an hour of training for purchases, no obligations, no expectations, if you just let me know that you opted to not use the coupon.
If you want to recommend the group to others, you may send an invite from the group to your Facebook friends. If someone is not your FB friend, then suggest that they search Facebook for Kafray Kreations and then they need to follow the instructions found on the Kafray Kreations profile. (They need to Add Kafray Kreations as a Friend, and then FB message KafrayKreations and ask to be invited to join the Interactive Emb with Kafray Kreations group)
Please keep in mind that the group is for those seriously planning to schedule Zoom sessions for One-on-One learning and to actively participate in posting, commenting or responding to posts. The group’s purpose is to provide an Interactive environment and that happens best when members participate.
