Quick Tip #4

By digitizingjourney on February 6, 2018 • ( 1 )

Having trouble selecting an object? Temporarily move it to the bottom of the stitch sequence. This places it on top of all the other objects so you can work with it more easily. Just don’t forget to put it back where it belongs when you finish.

Here’s the next letter of the Midnight Constellations Font.

Lessons Learned

If a piece has several parts, think about the engineering before you begin.
If you plan to make several things the same way, make a note of the settings you used.
Avoid jump stitches in FLS.
Trim loose threads on the back of FSL after each step.
Smaller objects are more challenging.
The up and down arrow keys will select the previous and next stitches.
If a shape has a bobble or cross in it, it will cause problems when a satin border is generated.
Remember to generate the file before you export it.
Satin stitches can be edited to make the end rounder.
Make sure the text is selected in the Insert Text dialog box to enter the text.
Deleting stitches doesn’t change the outline of the shape.
If you plan to make a font, get everything absolutely correct on the first letter. It’s annoying to realize the green should have stitched first when you’re on W.
Digitizing really is easier with a graphics tablet.
The grid is helpful when selecting objects.
The edges of areas can’t cross.
Monitors can be stacked instead of side by side.
If you are radically changing the architecture of a design, it might be better to start over instead of trying to modify the original design.
