To convert a vector graphic to an appliqué object...

1Create or open a vector graphic in Mode graphiques and select it.

2Click Tag As Appliqué. The object is tagged for conversion with a thick dotted outline. The CorelDRAW® Object Manager also indicates which objects have been tagged as appliqué.

3Click Convert Artwork to Embroidery. Hatch Embroidery automatically converts the vector object to appliqué and switches to Mode broderie.

Note: When present, vector fill properties are maintained in Mode broderie to give the appearance of a fabric patch. Otherwise, fills are rendered in gray.

Note: The success of the conversion can be affected by font size as a proportion of cover stitch width. Where the cover stitch is too thick for the resulting object, it may be ignored.
