Fixing Lettering as an Embroidery
Lettering is fixed as an embroidery when the Modify tab is selected, when it is ColorSorted using the Export functions, when it is fixed using Fix as Stitches in the Home tab or Context menu, or when it is Combined with another design. The stitches are then created, and any further resizing of the embroidery may affect stitch density and length. The font and text, and stitch properties, for example the density, pattern, angle or stitch length, may not be changed after it is fixed. Appliqué fabric cannot be changed in the Context menu after the lettering is fixed, but you may use the Select Appliqué features on the Appliqué tab.
When lettering is fixed as stitches, the handles change from green to white. After lettering has been converted to embroidery, it can no longer be changed with Letter Properties, and the stitch types cannot be adjusted. If the Resize
mode is selected, the handles will become blue.
To reverse fixing as an embroidery, click Undo

To fix lettering as an embroidery deliberately (for example to mirror some lettering shapes), right-click it and select Fix as Stitches
from the Context menu, or select Fix as Stitches in the Combine drop-down menu in the Home tab.
