Creating Large-Size Embroidery Patterns
Step 2
Specifying a Design Page size
First, we need to specify the desired size for the
complete embroidery pattern.
1.
Click Option, then Design Page Property.
→ The Design Page Property dialog box
appears.
2. Select Custom Size, and then type or select
the desired width and height for the Design
Page. Enter dimensions between 100 and
1000 mm. For this example, set Width to 230
mm and Height to 330 mm.
b
Memo:
The width and height specified under
Custom Size determine the exact size of
the embroidery design.
3.
Click in the Section Size (for Hoop Size)
selector, and then select the size of the
sections (your embroidery hoop). For this
example, select 120
× 170 mm (130 × 180
mm).
b
Memo:
• With the Section Size (for Hoop Size)
setting, the width and height of the
sections are 10 mm smaller than the
actual hoop size in order to provide
space for fine positioning adjustments
with adjacent sections.
• The preview area shows the setting
changes that you make. The double
lines indicate adjoining edges where
embroidering will overlap.
4. Click OK.
Step 3
Creating the embroidery pattern
For this example, we will use one of the lace
embroidery patterns provided with the application.
