Creating a Custom Preset

You can create a custom preset when you want to save the components and attributes you defined so you can use them later on. All presets appear in the main dialog.

If you want to only create a preset for future use, open Seam & Stitch Manager

You will be able to apply the preset to stitches, if required, later. If you haven't selected any stitches, the Preview appears without Piece Names. You can use the Preview to see the location of the components on the pieces (in the image below you can see how the offset will be applied to piece A and piece B).

The process below explains how to create a preset while you are stitching.

You can expand/collapse the preview using the / buttons.

The preview area is interactive. Each time you make a change, the preview automatically updates.

To help you visualize the location of the components on a piece, A/B is displayed.

When you select a stitch that is connected to two pieces, the piece name of each piece will be automatically assigned to A/B;

This facilitates placing the components in the appropriate location.
