Creating & Decorating Monograms 37 Viewing the Design Actual Size By default, the design preview in the Monogram Designer dialog will be scaled such that it fills the entire preview panel. This means that the apparent size of the lettering will change as you add or remove frames or decors. Note that the actual size of monogram - width and height - will always be displayed in the lower-left corner of the Monogram designer dialog. If you want the preview panel to display the design actual size instead, check the "1:1" box at the bottom of the Monogram Designer dialog. The size of the design in the preview panel will be based on the lettering height chosen, and will not change when decors and/or frames are added or removed. Changing the thread color in a Monogram In the Monogram Designer dialog, the lettering will have a default color to start out with. Using the Import Color function, you can change this color to whatever suits you, based on a list of manufacturers' thread color tables. The Import color function can be applied to each letter in the monogram separately, should you want to have your letters sewn in different colors. To change the color of letters in the Monogram: 1 To the right of each letter, in the text area of the dialog, there is a colored square (the "color swatch") - this shows the current thread color. Click in this square. You see the Import Color dialog.
