Direction lines and
points
The unified design window holds both outlines and stitches in
opened design files.
The design workspace includes the toolbars, menus, ribbon, and the
design window containing the design you are editing. The way many
of the tools work and the look of the workspace is controlled in the
Environment user settings. You can change the look and
functionality of your design workspace by changing these settings.
Modern term for punching reflecting the computerized method,
converting artwork into a series of commands to be read by an
embroidery machine's computer. See also Punching.
When you create curved segments and select an anchor point, the
anchor point has one or two lines extending from it. These lines are
called direction lines. The points at the end of the direction lines are
called direction points. The positions of direction lines and points
determine the size and shape of a curved segment. You can change
the shape of curved paths by moving the direction lines and direction
points. The angle of each direction line determines the slope of the
curve. The length of each direction line determines the height or
depth of the curve.
Start and Stop beads
Start beads are the green beads
first stitch of the segment. This will be the first stitch that will be
sewn. Stop beads are the red triangle beads
location of the last stitch of the segment. This will be the last stitch
that will be sewn.
If the Start and Stop beads are placed properly, the design sews
more efficiently. Therefore, you want to place your Start and Stop
beads close to each other or even on top of each other. The Start
and Stop beads of one segment should also be close to the Exit
point of the previous segment and Entry point
segment so that you eliminate the need for extra trims.
