Setting the Thread Color and Stitch

All patterns can be assigned at least one color. Patterns with an outline and a region inside can be
assigned two different thread colors. Characters in a text pattern can be assigned individual thread col-
ors.
All patterns can be assigned at least one stitch type. Patterns with an outline and a region inside can be
assigned two different stitch types.
Patterns with an outline and a region inside are: Text converted from True Type Font, Circle, Fan Shape,
Arc & String, Rectangle, Closed Broken Line, and Closed Curve. For these patterns, it is possible to
switch the outline and the regions on and off.
Patterns with only an outline are: Arc, Open Broken Line, and Open Curve. For these patterns, it is still
possible to switch the outline on and off.
Patterns with only a region are: Text included this software, manual punch patterns and converted
imported patterns (to which the Stitch to block function has been applied). For those three types of pat-
terns, it is not possible to switch the region inside on and off.
Manual punch patterns: You can set a color to all three manual punch pattern types (block, running and
feed), but you can only set a stitch sew type to the block patterns.
Imported patterns converted with the Stitch to Block function: You can modify globally the sewing
attributes of the blocks of the same color.
