The Edit Objects toolbox also provides specialized features to create special effects as well as save time while you digitize. From sunsets to wood grains, color blending creates interesting color blends, perspective effects and shading effects.
The embroidery objects in a design form a stitching sequence. Initially, objects are stitched in the order in which they were created. The Sequence docker provides various techniques for sequencing objects or entire color blocks in a design.
Connectors link objects in a design. They can be run stitches or jumps. You can use automatic settings to generate connectors, trims and tie-offs, or add them manually. Designs stitch out more efficiently when the connectors between objects are short. This also tends to reduce the number of trims in a design. Hatch Embroidery has a Closest Join method which can be applied while digitizing and/or after editing.
Depending on your product level, Hatch Embroidery will let you split composite objects – monograms, appliqué, lettering, etc – into their components. You can also cut shapes into smaller fragments which is especially useful for editing converted TrueType fonts.
With embroidery designs, stitches are automatically generated from design outlines and properties. This means you can scale, transform and reshape designs without affecting stitch density or quality. However, Hatch Embroidery also lets you edit individual stitches.
