Selecting connection point positions in a text pattern

The positions for connection points between characters within the same text (end point of one character and the start point of the next character) can be specified.
The available settings are [Default], [Closest] and [Farther].

1. Select the text or monogram text.

   If the [Sewing Attributes] pane is not displayed, click the [View] tab in the Ribbon, and then click [Sewing Attributes].

2. Click a setting under [Connection Points].
   
   1. Default
      

      Stitches are created in the default sewing order for good stitching quality of all characters.

   2. Closest
      

      Stitches are created at the shortest distance between the end point of one character and the start point of the next character. This shortens jump stitches and reduces the number of times that the thread is trimmed.

   3. Farther
      

      Stitches are created at a farther distance between the end point of one character and the start point of the next character. This lengthens jump stitches so they can easily be trimmed manually.

      A Connection Points setting can be selected not only for region sewing, but also for line sewing.
