Fabric
Select the fabric to be used for your embroidery design. Click on the down arrow and select the desired fabric type. Choose from: Sheer, Woven, Knit, Fleece, Terrycloth. The initial fabric is Woven. The Fabric affects the compensation used for the design.
All stitches have a tendency to pull in. The pull varies according to fabric weight and type. Compensation is used to make a whole design or areas within it 'bolder' by increasing their relative size.
