Applying Sewing Attributes to Lines and
Regions
The Sewing Attributes bar allows you to set the
following attributes:
• geometric attributes (arc shape, rectangle
edge radius, and path shape)
• text attributes (font, size and transformation
level)
• embroidery attributes (thread color and sew
type, outline and inside region on/off)
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,
but no 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 drawing a rectangle,
you can set the colors and the corner radius just
after starting the rectangle drawing mode. When the
rectangle is created, you can select it and change its
characteristics.
The only exception to that rule is when you use the
circle and arc drawing mode: you must decide what
kind of pattern you want (circle, arc, etc.) before
actually creating it. In addition, you will not be able
to change the pattern type once the pattern is
created.
