Importing Image Data

An imported image can be used with the Image To Stitch Wizard, as a template for manual punching, or for printing onto iron-on transfer sheets or printable fabric when using "Print and Stitch".

An image can be imported using any of the following four methods.

Image file formats

Images in the following formats can be imported.

Windows bitmap (.bmp), Exif (.tif, .jpg), Windows Metafile (.wmf), Portable Network Graphics (.png), Encapsulated PostScript (.eps), GIF (.gif)

  • Vector image data in the ".wmf" (Windows Metafile), ".emf" (Enhanced Metafile) and ".svg" (Scalable Vector Graphics) file formats can be converted to shape patterns as it is without some information not supported.

    Importing vector images (WMF/EMF/SVG)

  • If an EPS file doesn't contain a "Preview" image, it can not be displayed correctly. When you create a file in EPS format, be sure to save it with preview image.
