Embroidery patterns can be created from various
characters, such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean
etc, using TrueType fonts.
For this example, we will create an embroidery
pattern from Japanese characters.
1
Start up Layout & Editing.
2
Select a Text tool, and then select a Japanese
TrueType font (for example, "MS Gothic").
3
Display a character code table different from
the one that appeared in step 2. ([Start] – [All
Programs] – [Accessories] – [System
Tools] – [Character Map])
4
Select [MS Gothic] from the [Font] list in
[Character Map], and then select the
[Advanced view] check box. Next, select
[Windows]: [Japanese] from the [Character
set] list, select the desired character, and then
click [Select].
(This example shows the Japanese hiragana
for the word meaning "Good Afternoon".)
5
After selecting all of the desired characters,
click [Copy] to copy the characters.
6
Click in the Design Page where you want to
enter the text.
7
Paste the characters into the text field in the
[Text Attributes] pane, and then press the
<Enter> key.

to embroidery patterns
For best results when converting TrueType fonts to
embroidery patterns, select a font where all lines are
as thick as possible, such as with a Block font.
