Step 1 Specifying the Design Page size in Layout & Editing

  1. Click , then [Design Settings].
  2. Specify the Design Page size and the size of the design sections.
    1. Select the type of embroidery machine to be used.
    2. Select [Custom Size], and then type or select the desired width and height for the Design Page. This setting is to specify the exact width and height of a design.
      For this example, set width to 230 mm and height to 330 mm.
    3. Select the [Use smaller section sizes.] check box to create sections that are smaller than normal. This makes it easier to connect large-size split embroidery patterns.

      For this example, clear this check box.

    4. Click the [Section Size (for Hoop Size)] selector, and then select the size of the sections (your embroidery hoop).
      For this example, select 120 × 170 mm
      (130 × 180 mm)
      .

      Changing the size of sections

      • With the [Section Size (for Hoop Size)] setting, the width and height of the sections are 10mm smaller than the actual hoop size in order to provide space for fine positioning adjustments with adjustment sections. The 10mm is for overlapping.
      • It is not necessary for the [Section Size (for Hoop Size)] to match the Design Page size. Select the hoop size to be used for sewing.
  3. Click [OK].
