   • The [Cutwork Wizard] can also be used if closed shape patterns or text patterns are selected.
   • If a line of the pattern crosses itself, the [Cutwork Wizard] will not be available.
   • Text with built-in font 025 or 029 or a user-defined font cannot be used.
   • Shape patterns and text patterns cannot be combined.
3. Specify settings in the [Cutwork Wizard] in the following order 1 - 5.
   
   1. Stabilize Cut Edge
   2. Cutting Line
   3. Secure Water-Soluble Stabilizer
   4. Net Fill
   5. Covering Satin Stitch

      To return all parameters to their default settings, click [Default].

4. Specify running stitching along the edge before cutting in [Stabilize Cut Edge].

   By specifying that running stitches be sewn before the fabric is cut, the cut edges are reinforced, preventing them from unraveling.

   For this example, select [Yes].
5. Specify cutting line type in [Cutting Line].

   Select whether the fabric will be cut along the cutting line or whether the cutting line will remain as running stitches.

   For this example, select [Cutting].

   	Cutting In order for this setting to be available Basic requirements for Cutwork functions Select this setting to cut the fabric with a machine installed with cutwork needles.
   	Running Stitch Select this setting to sew the cutting line, then cut along the cutting line with scissors.

6. Specify securing of the water-soluble stabilizer in [Secure Water-Soluble Stabilizer].

   Running stitches will be sewn to secure the water-soluble stabilizer after the fabric has been cut. In order to prevent embroidery from losing its shape after it has been cut, place water-soluble stabilizer in the cutout areas and sew it in place.

   For this example, select [Yes].
7. Specify net fill stitching inside the cutout areas in [Net Fill].

   By sewing net fill stitching in cutouts, inner cutouts can be reinforced while allowing for a greater design variety.

   For this example, select [Yes].

   Select the parameters according to the procedure from step 8 to 10, when [Net Fill] is set to [Yes].

8. Specify the net fill stitch pattern in [Pattern].

   Five net fill stitch patterns are available.

   For this example, select [Pattern 2].

   Pattern 1	Pattern 2
   Pattern 3	Pattern 4
   Pattern 5

9. Specify the pattern spacing for the net fill stitch in [Spacing].

   For this example, set it to [3.0 mm].

   2.0 mm	10.0 mm

10. Specify the pattern direction of the net fill stitch in [Direction].

    For this example, set it to [0°].

    0°	90°

11. Specify satin stitching after cutting in [Covering Satin Stitch].

    Satin stitching is sewn along the edges of inner cutouts.
    The zigzag stitch or the stem stitch is used as an underlay for the satin stitching.

    For this example, select [Yes].

    Select the parameters according to the procedure from step 12 to 13, when [Covering Satin Stitch] is set to [Yes].

12. Specify the width of the satin stitching in [Width].

    For this example, set it to [4.0 mm].

    3.0 mm	6.0 mm

13. Specify the density of the satin stitching in [Density].

    For this example, set it to [6.5 line/mm].

    5.0 line/mm	7.0 line/mm

14. Click [OK] to exit the [Cutwork Wizard].
