With mySewnet™ Font Digitizing, you create (or digitize) lettering or SuperDesigns over any image on your computer screen. The embroidery areas you create are called objects and may be divided according to the type of stitches they produce (lines, columns, fill areas or command).
Stitch objects place individual stitches or lines of stitches. The stitch objects are Single Stitches and Running, Double, Double Zigzag, Triple Stitch lines and motif lines. Closed lines may enclose fill areas.

Set Single Stitches to any length from 2mm to 12mm. Set Running Stitches to any length from 0.3mm to 12mm. Set double, double zigzag and triple stitch to any length from 1mm to 12mm. Draw a line or place points to define Running, Double, Double Zigzag, Triple Stitch, Motif or Satin lines. To produce straight lines, hold down the Shift key while placing points.
Satin stitches in columns are parallel to each other and may be placed in straight or curved sections, depending on whether the Shift key is held down. You can also place columns of feathered satin, Richelieu Bars and tapered motifs.
The recommended maximum length for satin stitches in a column is 10mm, otherwise the stitches may be loose and not lie flat. To create a column wider than this, either overlap satin columns, or use one of the over 250 fill patterns to create smaller alternating stitches.
Create satin borders or lines where a line of satin stitches of constant width is desired. Draw a line or place points to define a satin border or line. To produce straight lines, hold down the Shift key while placing points.
Fill area types include Pattern Fill, Motif Fill, Shape Fill, Radial Rill, Spiral Fill, QuiltStipple Fill, Contour Fill, Crosshatch Fill and MultiWave Fill.
Pattern Fill areas contain small stitches placed using one of over 250 patterns, or single or multigradient fills. Use at least three points to define the edge of a fill area, which can be any shape and can also have holes defined inside it. The stitches can be at any angle and the density can be constant or varied as desired.
Commands include Color Changes between different color blocks of your design, Stops that tell the embroidery machine to stop without a color change, and Alignment Stitches that are used to align the embroidery when stitching out.
