Creating an original logo

Using the [Manual Punch] tools, an embroidery pattern can be created using an image of your logo in the background.

1. Open an image of the logo to be used to create the embroidery pattern.

   A faded copy of the background image can be displayed in the [Design Page].

    • If parts are connected to previous and following ones, jump stitches will not be created in order to automatically optimize entry and exit points.
      We recommend checking stitching with the Stitch Simulator before sewing.

    • Manually adding or adjusting sewing direction lines in shape patterns afterward allows you to continue creating patterns using the same Manual Punch tools.
