Lettering objects normally consist of one stitch type and one color only. However, the As Digitized join method is used with special fonts which can combine several colors and stitch types – e.g. Satin with Run, or Tatami, or Motifs.
‘As Digitized’ fonts can be edited like any other font. However, if resized or reshaped, stitch type and color will return to the ‘as digitized’ state.
Connectors can be viewed both in TrueView and in normal stitch view.
The Standard Fonts section in the online documentation lists all fonts that are standard with your embroidery software. For best results when stitching, do not exceed the recommended maximum or minimum sizes. The font tables also indicate the join method used.
