Use Insert SuperDesign to insert a SuperDesign from the SuperDesign sets available in mySewnet™ Digitizing. SuperDesigns are special designs that can be resized with constant stitch density. Some SuperDesigns are multicolored, and the stitch type and style for many can be changed. Alter the size, proportions, stitch type and thread color.
Choose a Style for certain SuperDesign sets, for example the Animals 1 set contains Natural, Sepia and Line styles.
SuperDesign sets are grouped into categories. Each set contains 9 SuperDesigns. The SuperDesign gallery shows thumbnails of all the SuperDesigns in the currently selected SuperDesign set.
