SuperDesigns are created from the SuperDesign sets available in mySewnet™ Embroidery.
SuperDesign sets are grouped into Categories. Each set contains 9 SuperDesigns. The SuperDesign window shows thumbnails of all the SuperDesigns in the currently selected SuperDesign Category.
To Select a SuperDesign Set
-
In the SuperDesign window choose a Category from the pop-up menu. Then scroll down and choose a SuperDesign set.
SuperDesign Category
There are 29 SuperDesign Categories: Animals, Appliqué, Borders, Buttonholes, Cartoons, Celebrations, ChildStyle, Corners, Effects, Encore, Fantasy, Flowers and Leaves, Food and Drink, Hearts, Holidays, Home, Music, People, Redwork, Religious, Scallop, Sports, Sports Symbols, Stars, Tassels, Trees, Wreath and Zodiac.
SuperDesign Set
Each SuperDesign category contains numbered SuperDesign sets. Each set contains 9 SuperDesigns.
A set of SuperDesigns has its own default size. This size is used each time the SuperDesign set is first selected.
SuperDesign Size
SuperDesign size can be set from 5mm to 200mm. This is the height of the SuperDesign.
If you set a satin SuperDesign to a very large size, use Satin Properties to choose a pattern which will prevent loose stitching that may catch and pull easily. See Satin Column.
Once a SuperDesign has been converted to an embroidery it can only be scaled and resized in the same way as any other embroidery. If further adjustments are required, place the design again as a new SuperDesign.
Height and Width
Adjust height
and width
separately to change the proportions of the SuperDesign. For instance, increase height to make the design taller without increasing the width.
Height and width can be set from 25% to 400% of the original size, in steps of 1%. The properties stay the same until you change them or close mySewnet™ Embroidery.
