hello and welcome to welcomes video

short series for embroidery studio a 4.0

today I'm going to show you how to

Center the design on the page I'm going

to explain the page relative to the

design and how to make sure that your

design starts and stops in the center

and I'm also going to show you how to do

a quick clone or to copy and duplicate

and mirror an image on the screen here

we have a design that was just brought

basically when I pasted the design here

just stop here on the page now if I

choose to I can create the file from

here and just digitize it from here and

the question is where what is the center

of the design and what is the center of

the page these are two different items

okay you see here in the center of my

screen you see a red crosshair in a red

square this is the center of the page

here and if I select the design here

this here is actually the center of the

design okay they don't have to be on the

same location however if you wish to go

in and Center the design on the page as

let me navigate here I'm gonna drag my

positionin­g tools here on the bottom and

so I'm just going to select this on the

screen here if I want to Center this

design on the page as well I'm going to

navigate down in the position X&Y

I'll do the X first I'm going to type 0

for the position and I'll click here and

select the position Y and I'll press the

0 here as well and the next thing I'm

going to do is I'm going to press my

and that's gonna Center the design on

the page as well okay when you're

working with your designs you want to

make sure that when you're digitizing

and if you bring your files in you want

to make sure that the white crosshair is

in the center here of the design which

represents actually the center of the

hoop okay if you want to make sure if

the white crosshair is not in the center

of the design and it's off somewhere

where the last stitch is that's what

usually happens and you'll see that

white crosshair wherever that last

stitch is in the design I'm going to

navigate up top here to show you how to

make sure that it's stopping and

starting in the center and I'm gonna

choose my design drop menu I'm gonna

scroll down and choose auto start an end

and here you just want to make sure that

the apply auto starting in here is

selected you want to make sure that the

maintain automatica­lly here is selected

as well you wanna make sure this is

selected here your auto starting in any

one make sure that the dot here is in

the center of what we call this is a

imaginary hoop here so making sure that

it's in the center to make sure that the

design starts and stops in the center

here if your setup is not like this one

that you see here you want to make sure

first that you save it left click and

letting you know that this will affect

all new designs that you'll be working

with not the old ones here so I'm gonna

click OK to verify and that has been

saved to my normal template now and

that's the template that when I bring in

my software it's the first one that

comes upon my screen I'm just gonna

click OK here now just really quick I'm

going to show you how to go in and in in

digitize this now if you want to lock

the design on the screen I'm gonna

navigate over to my color object list

and you have a little thumbtack here

currently it's pointing to the left that

means that it's in Auto hide mode if I

click this to where it's pointed down it

is actually now locked on my page

actually on my screen and that I can see

what's going on also you want to make

you're gonna click on that image and you

the screen so it doesn't move because if

your digitizing something and you

accidental­ly click the mouse button and

it goes whoop like this that's good that

can get a bit annoying and so you want

to make sure that the image is locked on

the screen and you can do that by

pressing K as in Kevin on the keyboard

or you can navigate and right-clic­k here

and you can also scroll down and click

your lock tab which also tells you that

the K key here is a shortcut key and now

it's staying on the screen and it won't

and it's gonna just quickly go in now

and the what I'm trying to do here I'm

gonna digitize this and I'm gonna just

and I'm gonna show you how that works

here and we're gonna use these tools

here and these tools are called your

transform tools okay if you don't see

them on your screen if you don't see

them up top here remember you can always

right click here on your void of space

and whatever's checked here on this page

here on this menu is actually shown on

the screen and you just want to make

sure that it has a check by it to make

sure that it is on your screen here and

this is what it looks like and here's

that transform tool as I verify that it

I'll click back on the screen and all

I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go in and

choose the I'll choose the column B

stitch here to do this with and as you

know the column B stitch will allow you

to one side first so right click here

you could always zoom in to your item

also to make sure that you can see

what's going on with it once I finished

side a I'll press Enter you know go to

here and I'm gonna press ENTER okay so

there's my object you wanna make sure

also that the object stitch length here

is not too wide so I'm gonna press T to

take off the TrueView here now once you

see this here you see these dotted lines

here what these represent is that now

your machine is not stitching in normal

stitch mode like you are here and I'm

going to press D to hide the image here

your machine is stitching in regular

stitch speed here once you see these

dotted lines now your machine has

started doing jump stitches because

these stitches are very long I'm gonna

measure those stitches to see how long

they are I'm gonna press him isn't Mary

and I'm gonna measure this give me two

reference points here one and two and

this stitches again eleven point four

three and the maximum stitch lengths on

the machine I think it's twelve point O

so this is a very long stitch so

anything that's that's just at under ten

millimeter­s is a long stitch at and so

whenever you see these dotted lines

these do represent jump stitches and

it's when your machine goes from a

chichi chichi to go - Chu Chu Chu Chu

Chu with you and that's what the machine

is doing here and that's not good for

your machine to do that excessivel­y okay

you have a choice in this matter to fix

this one I can go in and I can change

this the stitch type here - wait - Tommy

and I can easily do that just by

selecting the object on the screen now

beginning up top here - Tommy and just

changing the fill type here and that's

yeah what this is what it looks like

currently okay now I'm gonna press D to

bring my image back and now in order for

me to duplicate this and flip it over

I'm just gonna select it you can press

ctrl + the D key on the keyboard - and

watch my color object list here you

should see another object added there

like this and from up top here using my

my tools here I can go in and I can

merge this mirror this horizontal­ly by

clicking here and then I can select the

mirror vertically and it's gonna move

this here I can just click and drag this

over space it up a little bit like this

and so this is how you go in and you

horizontal­ly and vertically inside the

software again you also have an option

also that if you don't want to use the

tatami stitch you can select and you can

choose satin and you can right click on

that and go to your properties under

your satin here and your fields and you

can choose Auto split so the Auto split

stitch is available also that you can

actually also go in and change the width

of that maximum width that it starts to

do the split you can also choose that

also and it's just another option for

you that you have that you can choose to

use that inside the program okay

and as always want to make sure that you

have the proper amount of underlay in

here and make sure that if you using the

fabric assistant as I select here and go

to design you have Auto fabric that if

you want to turn this on and choose the

fabric type that you're working with in

your program and click OK ok and it will

apply the auto fabric to the existing

and so that is going to give me the

proper amount of underlay as I press T

for these and I'm gonna press D also now

remember also that when you use it the

tatami stitch here like you see here you

want to make sure the underlay should

never go in the same direction like you

see here so you have an option here to

go into the properties which I'm going

to right click go into my object

properties and I'm going to click on

underlay and for my underlay setting

here I can go in and I can change the

the angle of the underlay stitch I can

adjust that and I can also go in and

change that if I'm gonna do a double zig

zag I can do that with it to change the

underlay type for that or I also have an

option going and do a a double to tommy

stitch here for it also so those are

just options that you have based on the

type of fabric that you're going to be

working with for this and so I'll have

that here and also definitely have on a

secondary underlay stitch as they edge

run here okay and that's just some more

options that you have available that you

can use in reference as far as going in

and completing this I'm gonna press O

and D dramatic graphic and so I'm gonna

press T I'll sort of burn make the

TrueView so this is again how you going

and complete these different functions

inside the program thank you very much

and as always we ask you to join us at
