Best EmbroideryStudio input methods for Melco CND output

Column A, B, C

OK

Use with Satin only.

Complex Fill

OK

Only use with Tatami fill. Do not digitize pointed ends as they will be ‘squared off’ during conversion. Cut off pointed ends with a straight line, parallel to the stitch angle, to avoid conversion problems.

Complex Turning

Not recommended

Complex Turning objects are separated into a single object per segment. Conversions may produce undesired results.

Circle

OK

Ring

The exit point will be on the wrong side of the shape.

Star

Not recommended

The stitches are output as Walk.

End - Keep Last Stitch

OK

The exit point should always be on the opposite side to the entry point.

End - Omit Last Stitch

Do not use

Start digitizing the next shape on the opposite side instead.
