Memo:
• When entering points, change the punch
type by pressing the appropriate shortcut
key.
• A template image is needed in order to use
the semi-automatic block-type punch tool. If
there is no image, this tool will create a
punching pattern like the straight block-type
punch tool.
• Once the pattern is drawn, you can still
transform straight block-type patterns into
curved block-type patterns and vice versa.
For details, refer to “Transforming straight
lines into curves or curves into straight
lines” on page 108.

Memo:
• You can change the font, text size, color,
and sew type either before or after creating
the text. For more details on changing these
settings, refer to “Font” on page 128, “Text
Size” on page 130, “Color” on page 149 and
“Sew type” on page 150.
• You can also use the settings in the Sewing
Attribute Setting dialog box and the Text
Attribute Setting dialog box to define other
attributes of the text. (For more details, refer
to “Specifying sewing attributes” on
page 151 and “Specifying text attributes” on
page 132.) If you do not change these
settings at this time, the current settings will
be applied, however you can modify them
later.
