 drop-down menu to open the properties dialog box for the stitch type. Use the properties dialog box to alter the appearance of stitching in the lettering. See Choosing Stitch Properties.

If there is more than one stitch area of a particular type in the font, the drop-down menu will show that stitch type in a numbered list; for example, Pattern Fill 1, Pattern Fill 2.

If the Stitch Type area is grayed out (unavailable), this means that the font was designed with properties that cannot be edited. This occurs with Foam fonts, that have special settings to ensure the embroidery foam is cut. It also occurs with a few very complex fonts that have many different fill patterns in different letters, or multigradient and multicolor fills, such as Acorn 6C UC 35-60mm in the Floral category.
