Creating and Editing Embroidery Patterns
Using Layout & Editing
In this section, we are going to complete the embroidery pattern by combining a pattern imported from Design
Center with objects created using Layout & Editing, one of which will have a programmable fill stitch applied
to it.
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 14, “Saving the file”, on page 53). 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 with Layout &
Editing and will introduce you to some of its most important features.
At the end of this session, the embroidery pattern will appear as shown below.
Step 1
Importing embroidery patterns
from Design Center
The first object of the embroidery pattern will be
the file Flower.pem, which we created in Design
Center. In order to import an embroidery pattern
from Design Center into the Design Page of
Layout & Editing, the .pem file must be opened in
Design Center.
