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’, 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 may be turned off to 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 that 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.)
‘Mirror’ is useful for transfer paper as the image will be reversed.
