Artwork placed: {{ artInfo.name }}
Move or scale the artwork first if you like. Or click its shapes with Digitize Shapes (D) and give each a stitch type, or draw over it with the Run, Satin and Fill tools.
No objects yet.
SVG, PNG and JPG are placed on the hoop as artwork; click Auto-Digitize when you're ready (PNG / JPG logos are traced then). A Wilcom EMB or Tajima DST opens as editable objects. Or draw with the Run, Satin and Fill tools.

Height follows: {{ fmtIn(stats.bounds.h) }}. Resizing recalculates the stitches; it never stretches them.

Satin
Sews as {{ selInfo.columns }} columns, cut on the dashed lines. Don't like a cut? Cut it yourself with the knife (X) where you want it: the pieces stay one group and the other cuts re-adjust.
Taper & bulge
Round: a taper about half the column's width gives a half-circle end.
Each column tapers at the shape's free ends; ends on a dashed cut stay square so the columns still meet.
A closed satin has no ends to taper.

Click a shape on the artwork, Shift-click to add more, or drag a box around several. Click a shape that is already stitched to select its objects.
Stitch type
Keys 1-5. Each shape is added to the end of the sewing order, in the order you picked - so the order you digitize in is the timeline. Drag rows in the Color-Object List to change it later.
