About styles

Corporate lettering standardization

A company logo always uses the same font, height, stitch density, and underlay.

Save these settings as ‘Corporate Lettering’ and apply them to all logo text to ensure consistency across projects.

Patch borders

Patches often require a satin border with specific width, density, and underlay to create a clean edge.

Save as ‘Patch Border’ and apply it to any border object instantly.

Appliqué tack-down

Appliqué requires a zigzag or run stitch with certain spacing and pull compensation.

Create a style called ‘Appliqué tack-down’ for quick, repeatable setup across different designs.

Small text optimization

Tiny lettering – under 5 mm high – requires lighter density, shorter stitch length, and often a center-run underlay.

Define a ‘Small Text’ style and apply it whenever you digitize fine text.

3D puff embroidery

Puffy foam embroidery needs extra pull compensation, wider satin columns, and sometimes capping stitches.

Save these as a ‘3D Puff Satin’ style for quick application to lettering or objects.

Decorative fill effects

A customer wants textured effects like Program Split, Contour, or Motif fills.

Save each effect as a named style, such as ‘Contour Fill – Light’ or ‘Program Split Texture’, and reapply them quickly.

Team name templates

Sports team uniforms often require repeating names in consistent lettering styles.

Save as ‘Team Lettering’ to apply the correct font, spacing, and underlay settings across multiple player names.

Favorite satin variations

Sometimes you want tighter satin spacing for bold logos and lighter spacing for large fills.

Create multiple styles such as ‘Satin Tight’ and ‘Satin Open’ for fast switching between them.

Specialty fabrics

Certain fabrics, like terry toweling or Lycra, require modified settings to stitch well.

Save a ‘Terry Toweling Satin’ style or ‘Stretch Knit Lettering’ style for faster adjustments when working with those fabrics.
