Add ribbon to your design for use with the Ribbon Attachment, or place an indicator line for sewing with a standard ribbon foot. Choose a color and width in the Ribbon Selection dialog, then draw ribbon lines and shapes, or add a Ribbon SuperDesign.
Draw a line of ribbon with Freehand Ribbon Line 
or Point Ribbon Line 
, use Draw Shape 
, or insert a Ribbon SuperDesign 
. Ribbon is placed as a ribbon subdesign or added to an existing ribbon subdesign if one is selected.
Note: Use Select 
and Properties or the Context menu to make changes to the ribbon. See Select.
Designing with Ribbon
Place your ribbon lines and designs to work with your Ribbon Attachment. Any ribbon should be placed within the Ribbon Frame (the green rectangle).
Note: The Ribbon Frame indicates the area accessible to the Ribbon Attachment within the selected hoop. To stitch ribbon in a wider area, select a larger hoop.
-
When designing with ribbon, use a continuous line where possible, and plan your start and end before placing your design. Ribbon designs cannot be split.
-
Avoid very sharp corners, and do not use loops smaller than 5mm in diameter.
-
You can stitch over another ribbon line, but not more than twice.
Note: Turnable hoops cannot be used with the Ribbon Attachment.
