Frequently Asked Questions

Top

I tried to import a "*.DST" file, but the thread colors became nonsense.
Thread color information is not included in a "*.DST" file. When you import a *.DST file, Layout & Editing temporarily assigns the colors. This is why the colors come out different than expected. You can change the colors using the "Layout & Editing" tools.

What is the difference between PE-Design Ver7 and Ver8?
PE-Design Ver.8 has the following new features:

Stitch generation

• A motif pattern can be applied to the stippling stitch.
• The underlay stitching function has been improved.
New underlay stitching patterns have been added to the settings available for region sewing of text and manual punching patterns.
The density for underlay stitching of regions can be set to Dense, Medium or Light.

Editing functions and user interface

Layout & Editing

• The Remove Overlaps and Merge commands have been added for editing shapes.
Remove Overlaps: The overlapping regions of the shapes are removed.
Merge: The overlapping regions of the shapes are merged.
• Designs can be created that combine embroidery with an image used in the background.
Print the image on the fabric by using an iron-on transfer sheet or printable fabric, and then embroider on this fabric. The positioning sheet allows you to easily align the embroidering position.
• Rulers have been added at the top and left side of the Design Page. Measurement units when checking sizes and positions can be switched between millimeters and inches.
• Multiple files can be opened. Data can be copied and pasted between files.
• The Sewing Attribute Setting dialog box, Thread Color dialog box, and Text Attribute Setting dialog box are in a combined dialog box, which is easier to use.
• The functions in the Import dialog box for importing embroidery designs have been improved.
• The functions in the Sewing Order/Lock dialog box have been improved.
Embroidery patterns can be locked (no changes, such as moving, enlarging/reducing or editing, can be performed).
The sewing attribute of the objects in each color can be changed.
• The functions in the Image to Stitch Wizard have been improved.
Sepia modes have been added to the Photo Stitch and Cross Stitch functions.
A feature has been added to convert regions to lines when automatically converting to an embroidery pattern with the Auto Punch function.
Single cross-stitches and backstitches can be edited when automatically converting an image to an embroidery pattern with the Cross Stitch function.
• The image can be rotated in 90-degree increments.
• Tools for drawing lines freehand have been added.
• Arranged text on an arc can be selected from transform text pattern.
• Stitch data can be divided by color.

Design Center

• An eraser tool has been added to the Tool Box in the Line Image Stage.
• The maximum setting for Thinning Process when converting a line image to a figure handle image has been increased. This allows thicker figure handle lines to be created.

Font Creator

• A TrueType font character can be opened as a template. In addition, a custom font can be created automatically from a TrueType font.
• Characters other than letters of the alphabet, numbers and symbols can be registered.
• If a template image was open when custom font data is saved in PEF file, the template image will be saved with the data.

General

• New sample embroidery files have been added to the Design Library.
• The estimated sewing time has been added to the design properties.
• Embroidery hoop sizes 200 x 200 mm(7.3/4 x 7.3/4 inches) and 200 x 300 mm(7.3/4 x 11.3/4 inches) have been added to the Design Page Property dialog box.
• File formats have been added to those available for images that can be opened as templates or original images.
GIF(.gif) format is supported.
LZW-compressed .tif is also supported.

Why do I receive the Warning Message "Please change direction of sewing Region"?
This message appears when the shape of the sewing is too complicated for the sewing angle settings. To see which regions need to be adjusted in "Layout & Editing" tools,click Display on the menu bar, and then click Preview. The region needing adjustment will not have any color assigned to it.

When I create an embroidery pattern design on PE-DESIGN(PE-DESIGN, PE-DESIGN Lite, or PED-Basic), what Design Page Size is my sewing machine?
When you create an embroidery pattern design, please select the Design Page size that can be used with your machine on 'Design Page Property' dialog.

Select a hoop size for your machine from the Hoop size in the Writing Box of the Design Database.

If you select wrong size and create your design on that page, the created embroidery pattern data cannot be read with your machine.

If you select wrong size and save files to an original card, the original card cannot be read on your machine.
