Customize the Design

The Letters Property tab provides a number of tools that allow the design to be customized.

 

There are three basic styles for lettering:

•   Multi-Line Text

•   Single line of text or Monograms

•   Text on a Circle

The lettering design can switch between these styles using the three buttons at the top of the property tab as shown above.

Multi-Line Text is useful when you want to enter an entire saying, poem, etc.

 

Single line of text or Monograms is useful for entering a single line of text or a Monogram. With a single line of text there is more flexibility in the shape such as the enveloping feature. With Monograms there are some fun Quick Styles that re-shape the 3-letter monogram and when overlapping the monogram letters the Sewing Order finishes the look.

 

Circle Text wraps around a circle. If you overflow the amount of letters that can fit on the circle, you will see your text spiral outwards. To see the text on a circle, you will have to adjust the ‘Radius’ of the circle using the slider.

       

Spiral text starts in the center.

 

When writing on a circle, you have the option to put text either on the inside or outside; when embroidering, we usually think of this as text at the bottom or top of a circular patch or badge. To switch this, use the checkbox labeled “Place on bottom.”
