Frame Surround Options

The frame is placed at a size to fit around the selected embroidery(ies). If there is no selected embroidery, the frame default size is used.

Margin

Margin leaves a space between the embroidery and the frame around it. Frame margin can be set from -50mm to 50mm.

Crop

Crop the embroidery when placing the frame, so that no margin is visible. If the embroidery contains letters or a SuperDesign, it will be fixed as stitches. If required, the embroidery will be cut to fit the shape of the frame. The frame will usually be added after the embroidery. However, for an appliqué frame, the placement stitches will be added before the embroidery, and the border stitches after the embroidery.

For example, a circular frame will crop a rectangular embroidery to a circle, with no visible margins. If the original embroidery is portrait shaped, it is recommended to use a portrait style frame. If more than one embroidery is selected, they will be combined before the frame is created.

Group

Group the frame and embroidery(ies) when they are placed on the work area.

It is recommended to use Group. If Group is chosen, after creation use Reveal Groups Restrict_Groups_icon04056.jpg on the FilmStrip or context menu, then select the item that you wish to adjust. If Group is not selected, the frame can be moved separately, and stitch properties may be adjusted immediately after creation.
