The software analyzes the shapes created by the Position stitches and then creates a simpler output for the cutters, and saves it to their file. .fcm for Brother Scan ‘n Cut and the .studio Silhouette products, along with .svg and .plt files can be saved. Nearly every cutter can make use of one or more of these formats.
Save the cut file and send it to your machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The ‘Save All’ button will merge all the Position stitches on the design page, whether or not those objects are selected, and the resulting cut file will have all applique elements in it.
Generally speaking, applique steps are;
1. Set the colors as needed.
2. Save the cut file.
3. Save the design file (working and stitch)
4. Cut the applique.
5. Embroider the design.
Alternately, you can still use the image in a print process, and pre-cut the applique by hand. There are a lot of options!
