In JANOME Embroidery Software, the Travel on
Edge effect is typically used in combination with
open Weave Fill stitching to fill backgrounds or for
shading effects. Automatically create all the
stitching you need for appliqué using the
Appliqué digitizing method. Up to three layers of
stitching – guideline, tack and cover – are
generated, depending on current settings. See
Digitizing appliqué for details.
Embroidery stamps and motifs
Embroidery Stamps are
pre-defined design elements,
such as hearts, leaves or
border patterns. They
generally consist of one or
more simple objects made up
of Run and/or Satin stitches.
You use Embroidery Stamps
on their own as decorative
elements. JANOME Embroidery Software also
provides a library of embroidery motifs which can
be linked together to create ornamental runs and
fills. Stamps are generally much larger than the
motifs used in Motif Runs and Motif Fills and
contain Satin stitches, not just Run stitches. See
Embroidery Stamps and Motifs
Embroidery lettering
JANOME Embroidery
Software provides various
techniques for adding
lettering to designs quickly
and easily using the built-in
library of embroidery fonts or
by converting any TrueType
Font installed on your
system. Apply formatting to
lettering objects in the same
way as a word processor, including italics.
Orientation determines the shape of lettering
objects in a design. You can place lettering on a
straight horizontal or vertical baseline, curve
lettering around a circle or arc baseline, or digitize
your own. JANOME Embroidery Software gives you
interactive control over many baseline settings.
Letter and line spacings can be determined before
or after creating lettering objects and placing them
in your design. See
for details.
comprising a lettering object.
When you first create lettering, it may be too big
or too small. Size can be adjusted both
interactively and via settings. Apart from scaling,
you can interactively skew and rotate lettering
objects. Lettering orientation too can be adjusted
on-screen after it has been placed in your design.

Like all embroidery
objects, each lettering
object has its own
properties. Before you

you may want to adjust
the settings for the stitch
type you are going to use.

In addition to its built-in library of embroidery
alphabets, JANOME Embroidery Software allows
for the conversion of any TrueType font installed on
your system to an embroidery alphabet. The result
is similar to embroidery alphabets although the
quality may not be quite as high. See
TrueType fonts to embroidery
Add decorative borders such as rectangles, ovals,
and shields to designs. When you add a border, it
is automatically sized to fit the current design.
