Operating modes

Hatch Embroidery has a single ‘design window’ but you interact with it in different ways. The main operating modes you’ll be using are:

Mode

Function

Home

With this mode you can return to the Home screen to access new designs, or access tutorials and other product information.

Embroidery Mode

This mode allows you to create and edit embroidery objects using an embroidery digitizing toolset.

Graphics Mode

When installed, this mode allows you to insert, create and edit artwork, vector and bitmaps, using the CorelDRAW software toolset.

Design Library

This mode allows you to manage embroidery files and artwork.

Multi-hooping mode

If your embroidery is too large or contains a number of designs spaced around an article, you can split it into multiple hoopings in Multi-Hooping mode.

Tip: The User Interface Settings > General tab allows you to preset the preferred default screen upon startup – Home, Design Library, or Embroidery Mode. See System preferences for details.
