For special occasions, you may want to create a kiosk layout which includes a special motif – for instance, St Patrick’s Day, with a Shamrock at the start of the lettering. These motifs need to be about the size of a capital letter. Together with the lettering, they need to fit within the allowable stitching boundary.
To create a layout with an included design motif...
Create a layout from scratch or based on an existing layout. See above.
Import a suitable design motif using the Import Embroidery command. See main help system for details.
Place the motif and key in the default lettering.
- Double-click the lettering and set left justification in Object Properties. Alternatively, if you place the motif on the right, set justification to right.
- When you are happy with the result, click Save.
The file must be saved to the EmbroideryStudio e4 Designs folder:
C:\Program Files\Wilcom\EmbroideryStudio_e4.0\Kiosk\Designs
Alternatively, set your own designs folder.
- The design will appear in the kiosk design chooser when you next run it. The whole design, including motif and lettering, is auto-centered immediately after text is updated in kiosk mode.
