About this Chapter
The next three sections of this chapter are organized as a tutorial to provide you with a hands-on intro-
duction to the different features of the applications.
First, using the Auto Punch function in Layout & Editing, you will create an embroidery pattern automati-
cally from an image. The embroidery pattern can also be created in Design Center using the 4-stage pro-
cedure described later.
Next, the pattern will be imported into Layout & Editing. You will learn how to add a few components to
the embroidery image and to organize the layout.
In the third section, you will then learn how to use Programmable Stitch Creator to edit a programmable
stitch in order to create your own.
