Normally you choose a fabric when you first set up a design although you can change it at any stage. Fabric settings affect all object types other than lettering, pattern fills, appliqué, and outlines.
1Select Design > Fabric.
2From the Fabric type droplist, choose a fabric type matching or nearest to the fabric you intend to work with.
3Click OK.
The selected fabric settings are applied to all objects in the design. The current fabric is shown in the Status Bar at the bottom of the Embroidery Canvas.
Changing the current Auto Fabric will affect all colorways in the design. However, the converse is not the case. While colorways allow you to select different fabric swatches, these have no bearing on Auto Fabric settings.
