Applying Sewing Attributes To Text And Regions; Setting The Thread Color And Sew Type - Brother PE-Design Lite Manual

Applying Sewing Attributes to Text and
Regions
The Sewing Attributes bar allows you to set the
following attributes:
• text attributes (font, size)
• embroidery attributes (thread color and sew
type)
The sewing attributes that are available depend on
the tool selected in Tool Box, and the type of
embroidery pattern selected.
Example 1: When the Select Object tool is selected,
and an object or pattern is selected
Example 2: When a text tool is selected, or 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 creating text, you can
set the font and size immediately after entering the
text input mode, or when creating text is finished.
You can select the created text and change its
characteristics afterwards.
