In this example, we will create an embroidery pattern for text.
From Layout & Editing, various embroidery patterns can be created for text.
Built-in fonts: This software is provided with 35 built-in fonts.
TrueType fonts: TrueType fonts installed on your computer can be used to create embroidery
patterns.
Small fonts: These small fonts have sizes between 3 and 6 mm (0.12 and 0.24 inch).
Because of their size, these fonts are useful for beautifully sewing small text.
