Automatically Creating Embroidery Patterns
Using the Auto Punch Function
In this section, we are going to automatically create an embroidery pattern from an image.
Follow the instructions in this section step by step. If you have to interrupt this exercise for any reason, it is
recommended to save the file (refer to Step 6, “Saving the embroidery pattern”, on page 23). You will be able
to retrieve it later and resume your work.
The complete procedure will take you through the different steps of a normal working session using the Auto
Punch function.
