Applying Sewing Attributes to Text and Regions

The Sewing Attributes bar allows you to set the following attributes:

•text attributes (font, size)

•embroidery attributes (thread color and sew type)

The sewing attributes that are available depend on the tool selected in Tool Box, and the type of embroidery pattern selected.

Example 1: When the Select Object tool is selected, and an object or pattern is selected

Example 2: When a text tool is selected, or text is selected

When the pointer is positioned over a button or selector in the Sewing Attributes bar, a label indicating the name of that element appears. In the following instructions, we will refer to the elements of the Sewing Attributes bar according to these labels.

As a general rule, the different characteristics available for a given pattern can be set either just before creating the pattern, or after the pattern is created. For example, when creating text, you can set the font and size immediately after entering the text input mode, or when creating text is finished. You can select the created text and change its characteristics afterwards.
