Applying Sewing Attributes to Lines and
Regions
The Sewing Attributes bar allows you to set the
following attributes:
• geometric attributes (rectangle edge
radius, and path shape)
• text attributes (font, size)
• embroidery attributes (thread color and
sew type, outline and inside region on/off)
The sewing attributes that are available depend on
the tool selected in Tool Box, and the type of
embroidery pattern selected.
Example 1: When a rectangle is selected
Example 2: When a text is selected
When the pointer is positioned over a button or
selector in the Sewing Attributes bar, a label
indicating the name of that element appears. In the
following instructions, we will refer to the elements
of the Sewing Attributes bar according to these
labels.
As a general rule, the different characteristics
available for a given pattern can be set either just
before creating the pattern, or after the pattern is
created. For example, when drawing a rectangle,
you can set the colors and the corner radius just
after starting the rectangle drawing mode. When the
rectangle is created, you can select it and change its
characteristics.
