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 applied to an area,

an additional color can be specified to create a

blending effect. (For details on gradations, refer to

“Creating a gradation/blending” on page 115.) 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 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 application, text created with

custom fonts and manual punching patterns. For

these 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.
