Setting the thread color and
sew type
All patterns can be assigned at least one color and
sew type. Patterns with an outline and an inside
region can be assigned two different thread colors
and sew types. If a gradation is set, an additional
color can be added to the region. (For details on
gradations, refer to “Creating a gradation” on
page 162.) In addition, each character in a text
pattern can be assigned individual thread colors and
sew types.
Patterns with an outline and a inside region: text
converted from TrueType fonts, circles, fan shapes,
arcs & strings, rectangles, 24 heart and star shapes
closed broken lines, and closed curves. For these
patterns, it is possible to switch on and off sewing for
the outline and the regions.
Patterns with only an outline: arcs, open broken
lines, and open curves. For these patterns, it is still
possible to switch on and off sewing for the outline.
Patterns with only a region: text created with fonts
provided with this software and manual punching
patterns. For these two types of patterns, it is not
possible to switch on and off sewing of the inside
region.
Manual punching patterns: You can set a color and
a sew type for manual punching patterns.
