Create circular layouts

Create large embroidery layouts using Layout tools together with selected design/s and/or object/s. The tools listed above are the ones you will need for circular layouts.

To create a circular layout...

• Define your work area according to its application – e.g. as a layout for a tablecloth.

• Insert a design and/or select a design/s or object/s already on-screen.

• Resize as necessary. Optionally, use the Auto Center to Work Area tool to move selected object/s to the center of the work area. Press Enter to confirm.

• Insert further objects as needed. Move to the desired position in the work area. Use arrow keys to nudge into position.

• Before you copy the design to the work area, you need to decide whether to merge color blocks:

• If you want the selected objects to sew out in separate hoopings, make sure they are grouped before proceeding.

• Alternatively, leave the objects ungrouped, and they will be color-optimized for a single stitchout – i.e. color-block by color-block.

• Click Lay out to Circular Work Area. Wireframe copies are mirrored about vertical and horizontal axes.

• Use the Mirror-Merge Settings toolbar to control the duplicates:

• Set the number of copies to make.

• If you are creating an even number of duplicates, use Mirror Alternate to mirror alternating copies as preferred.

• Use Work Area Margin to specify a margin (in mm) between the edge of the work area and the duplicates.

• Press Esc to cancel or Enter to confirm.

• Check the design layout in the Color Film. Manually resequence colors where necessary.

When used in conjunction with the Multi-Hooping toolbox, you can place multiple hoops around a single design.
