Several options have been included for use with Applique. See the Applique section for images and a description of using the Applique.
‘Selected Colors only’, which can be used with machines that will scan and cut – by printing only an outline, you could make it easier for those machines to scan the shape you need.
When printing an applique for hand-cutting you probably want to turn the ‘Print Applique Outline’ mode on so that you have a clean, dark line to cut on.
The ‘Print Stitches’ option is used to only print a background image, for use with creating a photograph as an applique via printable fabric or transfer fabric. There, you want to print the image, not the stitches which will be applied over top.
‘Print Applique’ is a setting that turns on printing of a selected Simulated Fill or photograph (on the applique tab of the Color Window.
And ‘Mirror’ is useful for transfer paper as the image will be reversed.
