You can adjust SuperDesigns after they have placed in the work area, but before they have been fixed as an embroidery.
Note: A SuperDesign that has not been fixed as an embroidery has green handles. A SuperDesign fixed as an embroidery has white handles or blue handles. See Resize and Scale.
To Adjust SuperDesigns
-
Drag the green handles to change the shape of a SuperDesign. Hold the Shift key while dragging to retain the original proportions. Hold the Option key to resize from the center. See Reshaping a SuperDesign.
-
Control–click a SuperDesign and select an option from the context menu:
-
Choose Properties to change the size, height and width. See Changing SuperDesign Properties.
-
Choose a stitch type and open its properties dialog to alter properties such as density, stitch length, angle and pattern. See Choosing Stitch Properties.
-
To change the thread colors in the SuperDesign, in the Control Panel click Design, then click a thread color. See Changing a Thread Color.
-
Fix the SuperDesign as an embroidery. See Fixing SuperDesigns as Embroideries.
Reshaping a SuperDesign
-
Choose a SuperDesign in the SuperDesign window. See Create a SuperDesign.
-
Click Apply. The SuperDesign appears in the work area.
-
Drag the design a short distance to the right. A four arrow pointer appears as you drag.
-
Place the pointer over one of the square green handles at the corners of the design. The Adjust/resize pointer
appears. -
Drag the handle to change the shape of the SuperDesign.
-
Hold the Shift key and drag one of the handles. The size changes, but the shape remains the same. (Hold the Option key to resize from the center.)
-
Use the round handle on the right to rotate the SuperDesign. The handles on the design are now white or blue. This means that the SuperDesign has been fixed as an embroidery.
-
Undo the rotation. The green handles reappear. You can adjust the design again.
