Underlay Settings; Selecting The Underlay Type - Brother BES Monogramming Suite Instruction Manual

Underlay Settings

Underlay stitches are laid down before the visible, or "top"
stitches, to help stabilize stretchy fabrics. They can also help to
tack down wales or naps (on fabrics such as corduroy).
There are a variety of possible underlay types available; the
following image gives a schematic view of how the different
types of underlay are sewn.
Note that, in Pacesetter BES Monogramming Suite, Underlay
can only be added to monogram lettering; it cannot be applied
to other embroidery objects, such as Decors and Frames.
