Enter letters in left–center–right order. The sides use exact-size packs at 60% of the center scale.
Small: 120–300%, in steps of 5%. Side initials use 60%.
Screen colors are approximate. Compare physical thread swatches for an exact match.
Matches use the selected thread line and “Only my threads” setting. Search text does not limit matching. Sewing order stays the same.
Use “Add to mine” to keep a spool in My threads on this browser. Your project file also saves its chosen thread names and numbers.

Choose the file format your machine reads.
PES includes thread colors. Check your model’s supported PES versions.
Transfer the file to your machine, check the hoop and placement, then start sewing on the machine.
Enter the sewing area from your hoop's instructions. The PR1050X sews up to 200 mm wide and 360 mm tall; larger sizes are capped to that.
A loose fill flattens towel or fleece pile before the design sews. It extends 1.5 mm beyond the selected outlines and sews first.
Selected fabric outlines at actual size. Open the SVG in CutArc Vinyl or Laser to cut fabric.
An inset makes each piece smaller. Holes grow by the same amount. The design stays unchanged.
Review the whole design. Objects can move earlier only when their sewing outlines clear every crossed object by 0.5 mm.
Repeat the selected objects. You can adjust every copy afterward.
The whole layout is centered in the hoop. Design checks will flag copies that extend beyond it.
