your design will sew out on-screen. You can
use the Draw Ribbon tools to eliminate
potential sewing problems.
When you click the
the draw ribbon tools (scrollbar slider, sewing
simulator, and draw ribbon mode setting) will
appear on the ribbon of the design window.
The draw ribbon controls which parts of the
design are drawn. You can draw stitches
while the draw bar is active, as well as
commands and stitch dots when turned on.
When the draw ribbon is active, you can
not draw a full screen crosshair, selection
box, outlines or beads.
Scrollbar Slider
The length of the scrollbar slider represents
all of the stitches in the opened design. You
can move the scrollbar slider by dragging it to
see a design as it will look sewn to a
particular point. The color display within the
scrollbar indicates the thread color that will
be sewn when the scrollbar slider is
positioned over it. Clicking on the arrows at
the ends of the scrollbar will advance or
retrace the design position by one stitch.
