Layout & Editing is used to assemble an embroidery Design Page from different elements.
The most complex elements are created with Design Center and imported in the Design Page. You can
then add text, boxes, circles, broken lines, curves and manual punching patterns. You can move all the
patterns to obtain the best layout, and define sewing attributes (thread color and stitch type, including a
stitch pattern created by Programmable Stitch Creator) for the different components of your Design
Page.
When you have finished, you can save your work on your hard disk, print it, and transfer it to a card.
The card can be inserted in your sewing machine to automatically embroider your creation.
