Print

Select Show Details to choose the information to be printed with the embroidery, select the printer and page layout, and choose a scale for the printout. Then print any combination of the embroidery worksheet, plan view and an individually printed picture. All options are initially enabled. Step through the pages to choose which to print.

Note: If the embroidery is not within the hoop, or is too large for the hoop, a message is displayed instead of the Print dialog. Change the hoop size, or adjust the embroidery so that it fits in the hoop.

Preview

Display the active embroidery as it would appear when printed. Other information, such as the Dimension, Color Information, Notes and Settings and Technical Information is shown, depending on the choices made in the Print dialog. Export options such as Combine, Remove Overlap, ColorSort and Optimize Stitch Length are shown, depending on the choices made in the Export dialog. See Export Embroidery.

If there are multiple pages, step through them with Next Page Next_icon.jpg and Previous Page Previous_icon.jpg.

Scale and Information

Select the information to be printed with the embroidery, such as the Dimensions, Color Information, Notes and Technical Information. In addition, the scale may be altered and a grid turned on or off. Set the Units of Measurement for the Dimensions and Technical Information to mm or inches, as desired.

Worksheet

Choose mySewnet™ Digitizing - Worksheet to set options for printing a worksheet for the embroidery. Use the scale and print information options to alter the appearance and contents of the printed worksheet.

Design Scale: Select 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% scaling when printing the overview of your embroidery. This is how large the embroidery will print compared to the real size of a stitched out embroidery. Use a reduced Design Scale if you want to ensure that the worksheet fits on one page. Use the preview to see how many pages will be printed.

Grid: This determines whether or not a grid is printed with the embroidery. If you turn this off you will still get a rectangle representing the hoop.

Overview Scale: Select To Fit or 100% scaling when printing your embroidery.

Grid: This determines whether or not a grid is printed with the embroidery.

Print Information: This determines what additional information is printed. All items are selected initially.

Dimensions: The size of the embroidery and the stitch count.

Color Information: The sequence of thread colors used and, if available, the thread specification (range, thread number and name). Stop Commands and their messages (where present) are also shown.

Notes: Any notes and settings that are included with the embroidery.

Technical Information: The distance of each edge of the embroidery from the center of the embroidery.

Units of Measurement: Select between Millimeters and Inches.

Plan & Picture

Choose mySewnet™ Digitizing - Plan & Picture to  set options for printing a plan view of the picture, with either the whole embroidery or the alignment stitches printed over the picture. When stitching out, use the plan view as a guide for aligning the embroidery to the picture.

Print Plan View

Select this option to print a plan view of the picture, with either the whole embroidery or the alignment stitches printed over the picture. When stitching out, use the plan view as a guide for aligning the embroidery to the picture.

Print Whole Embroidery: The whole embroidery is printed on the plan view. If there are alignment stitches under the embroidery, they may be obscured by the embroidery.

Print Alignment Stitches Only: Only the alignment stitches (if present) in the first color block in the embroidery are printed. If the alignment stitches will be obscured by the rest of the embroidery, choose Print Alignment Stitches Only. Otherwise, it is generally better to choose Print Whole Embroidery.

Print Picture

Select this option to print a page that shows only the picture. This is so that you can load your printer with the printable fabric or transfer, without printing the worksheet or plan view first.

The picture can optionally be flipped and/or have the colors faded by 50%.

Flip Picture for Iron-On Tee Shirt Transfer: Use this option to print onto iron-on transfer paper, instead of printing directly onto the fabric.

This is typically used for transferring the picture to a tee-shirt. Using iron-on transfer paper flips the picture, so use this option to flip it back again, ensuring that the picture is correctly orientated when it is ironed onto the tee-shirt.

Fade Picture: Use this option to fade the picture by 50%, if desired. This will make the threads stitched over the picture stand out.

Note: Fade Picture affects both the plan view and the individually printed picture.

Align Picture To

Use this option to position the printed picture on your printable fabric or transfer paper. Choose from Center, Top or Bottom.

If you have a small picture, you can use this option to conserve the printable media by moving the printed picture to the top or bottom of the page. Alternatively, use center alignment to make hooping up easier.

Use Print Preview to verify the size and position if you have already printed on the other part of the media.
