The Sewing Attributes bar allows you to set the following characteristics:
◆ geometric attributes (arc shape, rectangle edge radius, and path shape);
◆ text attributes (font, size and transformation level);
◆ embroidery attributes (thread color and stitch, outline and region inside on/off).
The sewing attributes which are available depend on the cursor mode and the type of embroidery pattern
selected.
Example 1: The cursor is in selection mode, but nothing is selected.
Example 2: The cursor is in text input mode, or in selection mode with text selected.
When the cursor is left for a while on an element of the Sewing Attributes bar, a label indicating the func-
tion of that element appears. In the following instructions, we will name the components of the Sewing
Attributes bar according to these labels, for easier identification.
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. And you will not be able to change
that once the pattern is created.
