Type

Purpose

Design worksheet

This provides all production-related information, such as bobbin length, design size, garment fabric, etc, is provided.

Appliqué patterns

This shows appliqué patterns – cutter information – isolated from the design. These can be used as a guide to cutting out fabric pieces.

Color sequence

Provides a list of colors in the design, together with color and stitch information for each color layer.

Hooping sequence

If there is more than one hooping in the design, this option displays hoopings in their correct color sequence.

5If you have selected ‘design worksheet’, three presets are available:

Preset

Purpose

Standard

Resets worksheet options to default values.

Design view

Shows the design as it appears in the design window.

Template mode

Shows the design outlines with no stitches.

6Further configure design worksheet options as preferred. See below for details.

7Optionally, print the whole design or selected objects only. If the latter, select the objects before accessing the Print Options dialog.

8Select a sizing option from the Zoom panel. When selecting Template Mode, the Actual Size option is automatically selected. If the Zoom 1:1 option is selected, both an assembled appliqué layout and individual patterns in the actual size are created on separate pages. If the Zoom to fit or % of Actual options are selected, the assembled appliqué layout is created in the selected size, but individual patterns are still printed in the actual size on separate pages.

Note: While the cloth setting marking is supported in JEF and SEW files, outlines are not. Since JEF and SEW are machine file formats, they only contain stitch data, no outlines. The workaround is to display JEF and SEW files with stitches and cloth setter marking turned on.
