Lettering can be progressively broken apart down to individual letter patches.

To break lettering apart...

Individual lines are broken into separate words.

Tip: Multi-line lettering is first broken into separate lines.

Words are broken into separate letters.

Letters can be broken into their individual embroidery patches. Lettering properties are lost. Only general embroidery object properties remain.

Note: An exception for single-line (multi-word) objects is the case of the center-out stitching sequence. Such objects are broken apart directly into single-letter objects. The stitching sequence is thereby preserved.
