settings which are saved with the design.
Note Because fabrics are not part of the template,

Changing fabric settings
You can change fabric settings
Choose from a set of pre-defined fabrics aimed at
minimizing stitching defects when designs are
sewn out. These make the necessary changes to
the system settings – e.g. 'stretchiness'. The new
settings can be applied to all applicable objects –
all object types other than Motif Fill, Appliqué,
Photo Click, as well as Single and Triple Run.
Objects can subsequently be modified via Object
Details. See also Changing details of selected
objects.
