In the TruE™ 3 Create application (in TruEmbroidery™ 3 ELITE only) you can create an embroidery quickly with the new Shape as a Fill and Shape as a Line tools. There are 75 shapes to choose from. Shape As Fill draws a fill area surrounded by a border. Shape As Line draws a closed line with no fill.
To use Shape As Fill , first select the desired line and fill type. To create lace, set the options to 2mm spacing with a double with zigzag return.
Next, select the shape you wish to draw from the Shape pop-up menu.
After selecting the shape, click the Shape As Fill button. The shape is placed in the center of the work area as a selected block. Finally, drag the shape to where you want it and resize as desired.
To use Shape As Line , first select the desired line type. To create an appliqué, select Line Options and then click Appliqué. Select the desired appliqué method.
Next, select the shape you wish to draw from the Shape pop-up menu. After selecting the shape, click the Shape As Line button. The shape is placed in the center of the work area as a selected block. Finally, drag the shape to where you want it and resize as desired.
If you have TruEmbroidery™ Software, you can make similar shapes in TruE™ Create. The shapes must be drawn manually with the Freehand Tablet Fill or Freehand Point Fill tools.
