Open EmbroideryStudio using the desktop icon or the MS Windows® Start menu. The application has one workspace or ‘design window’ but you interact with it in different operating modes. These can be accessed via the Modes toolbar.
The main modes you’ll be accessing are:
Mode |
Function |
Home |
With this mode you can return to the Home screen to access new designs, or access tutorials and other product information. |
Wilcom Workspace |
This mode allows you to create and edit embroidery objects using an embroidery digitizing toolset. |
CorelDRAW Graphics |
This mode allows you to create and edit vector objects using the CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite toolset. |
Design Library |
This mode allows you to manage designs and job orders. |
Caution: You need to calibrate your monitor so that designs at 1:1 scale appear at real size. Do this when you first install EmbroideryStudio or whenever you change your monitor. See Calibrating the monitor for details.

Use Mode > Show Embroidery to show and hide embroidery objects in CorelDRAW Graphics. |
|
Use Mode > Virtual Decoration Quality to set the rendering quality of embroidery TrueView for a virtual decoration. |
Artwork can be inserted, pasted or scanned into EmbroideryStudio for use as digitizing templates or ‘backdrops’. You can show or hide backdrops temporarily while you digitize. You can show or hide artwork temporarily in Wilcom Workspace. Conversely, in CorelDRAW Graphics, you have the option of turning on or off the embroidery display.
