Creating Custom Stitch Patterns (Programmable Stitch Creator)
Creating Embossing/Engraving Effects in
Fill/Stamp Mode
In Fill/Stamp mode, an embossed or engraved effect can be created by specifying the sew type of an enclosed
region.
1.
Open an existing fill/stamp pattern file (.pas
file) or draw a new pattern with the Line tool in
the Fill/Stamp mode.
a
Note:
In order to apply the region settings
(embossing/engraving effects), make sure
that the lines of the pattern form an enclosed
area.
The edge of the work area does enclose
regions. In order to use the edge of the work
area as a limit for regions, lines must be
drawn over it first.
2.
To create an engraving effect, click
(Region (engrave)).
3.
Click each region.
→ The regions appear in red, which is the
color for the tool.
b
Memo:
This type of region will be sewn with the fill
stitch set to a pitch of 2.0 mm (0.08 inches)
and a frequency of 30%, and the needle drop
point will be set on the outline.
4.
To create an embossing effect, click
(Region (emboss)).
5.
Click each region.
→ The regions appear in blue, which is the
color for the tool, and will be sewn with
stitching that appears like satin stitching.
6.
To remove the embossing/engraving effect
applied to a region, click
(reset)).
7.
Click each region where you want to remove
the engraving or embossing setting.
→ The region appears in white, which is the
color for the tool, and will be sewn in the
direction set for the base stitch.
a
Note:
• If you edit stitch lines after a region has
been filled, make sure that the lines still
form a region, otherwise the embossing/
engraving effects are canceled.
• .pas files with region settings applied
cannot be used with versions of the
software earlier than version 6, but .pas
files created with an earlier version can be
used as a base to create stamp files.
