Creating Custom Stitch Patterns (Programmable Stitch Creator) Creating Embossing/Engraving Effects in Fill/Stamp Mode In Fill/Stamp mode, an embossed or engraved effect can be created by specifying the sew type of an enclosed region. 1. Open an existing fill/stamp pattern file (.pas file) or draw a new pattern with the Line tool in the Fill/Stamp mode. a Note: In order to apply the region settings (embossing/engraving effects), make sure that the lines of the pattern form an enclosed area. The edge of the work area does enclose regions. In order to use the edge of the work area as a limit for regions, lines must be drawn over it first. 4. To create an embossing effect, click (Region (emboss)). 5. Click each region. → The regions appear in blue, which is the color for the tool, and will be sewn with stitching that appears like satin stitching.

Click each region. → The regions appear in red, which is the color for the tool. 6. To remove the embossing/engraving effect applied to a region, click (Region (reset)). 7. Click each region where you want to remove the engraving or embossing setting. → The region appears in white, which is the color for the tool, and will be sewn in the direction set for the base stitch. a Note: • If you edit stitch lines after a region has been filled, make sure that the lines still form a region, otherwise the embossing/ engraving effects are canceled. • .pas files with region settings applied cannot be used with versions of the software earlier than version 6, but .pas files created with an earlier version can be used as a base to create stamp files. b Memo: This type of region will be sewn with the fill stitch set to a pitch of 2.0 mm (0.08 inches) and a frequency of 30%, and the needle drop point will be set on the outline. 211
