Setting the thread color and sew type
All patterns can be assigned at least one color and
sew type. Patterns with an outline and an inside
region can be assigned two different thread colors
and sew types. If a gradation is set, an additional
color can be added to the region. (For details on
gradations, refer to "Creating a gradation" on
page 179.) In addition, each character in a text
pattern can be assigned individual thread colors and
sew types.
Patterns with an outline and a inside region: text
converted from TrueType fonts, circles, fan shapes,
arcs & strings, rectangles, closed broken lines, and
closed curves. For these patterns, it is possible to
switch on and off sewing for the outline and the
regions.
Patterns with only an outline: arcs, open broken
lines, and open curves. For these patterns, it is still
possible to switch on and off sewing for the outline.
Patterns with only a region: text created with fonts
provided with this software and manual punching
patterns. For these two types of patterns, it is not
possible to switch on and off sewing of the inside
region.
Manual punching patterns: You can set a color for
three manual punching pattern types (block, semi-
automatic block and running), but you can only set a
sew type for manual punching block patterns.

Memo:
• The Line sew button is available only
when the Select Object tool is selected
and no patterns are selected, when you
select a pattern that has an outline (text
converted from a TrueType font, circles,
arcs, fan shapes, arcs & strings,
rectangles, broken lines, curves), or when
you click
the Tool Box to start drawing such a
pattern.
• When line sewing is switched off, the line
is not sewn (and you cannot set its color or
sew type).
