Setting the Thread Color and Stitch
All patterns can be assigned at least one color. Patterns with an outline and a region inside can be
assigned two different thread colors. Characters in a text pattern can be assigned individual thread col-
ors.
All patterns can be assigned at least one stitch type. Patterns with an outline and a region inside can be
assigned two different stitch types.
Patterns with an outline and a region inside are: Text converted from True Type Font, Circle, Fan Shape,
Arc & String, Rectangle, Closed Broken Line, and Closed Curve. For these patterns, it is possible to
switch the outline and the regions on and off.
Patterns with only an outline are: Arc, Open Broken Line, and Open Curve. For these patterns, it is still
possible to switch the outline on and off.
Patterns with only a region are: Text included this software, manual punch patterns and converted
imported patterns (to which the Stitch to block function has been applied). For those three types of pat-
terns, it is not possible to switch the region inside on and off.
Manual punch patterns: You can set a color to all three manual punch pattern types (block, running and
feed), but you can only set a stitch sew type to the block patterns.
Imported patterns converted with the Stitch to Block function: You can modify globally the sewing
attributes of the blocks of the same color.
■ Line sew
Purpose: Switches the outline on/off.
When the outline is switched off, it is not sewn (and you cannot set its color or
stitch).
Available: When the cursor is in Selection mode with nothing selected.
When you select a pattern that has an outline (Text converted from True Type
Font, Circle, Arc, Fan Shape, Arc & String, Rectangle, Broken Line, Curve)
When you click , , , on the Tool Box to start drawing such a
pattern.

The setting applies to all the patterns with an outline that you will create until you change the set-
ting.
