Advanced Operations for Entering Text
Selecting connection point 
positions in a text pattern
The positions for connection points between 
characters within the same text (end point of one 
character and the start point of the next character) 
can be specified. 
The available settings are DefaultClosest and 
Farther.
1.
Select the text or monogram text.
If the Sewing Attributes tab is not displayed, 
click View tab in the Ribbon, then Sewing 
Attributes
.
2.
Click a setting under Connection Points.
(1) Default
Stitches are created in the default sewing 
order for good stitching quality of all 
characters.
(2) Closest
Stitches are created at the shortest distance 
between the end point of one character and 
the start point of the next character. This 
shortens jump stitches and reduces the 
number of times that the thread is trimmed.
(3) Farther
Stitches are created at a farther distance 
between the end point of one character and 
the start point of the next character. This 
lengthens jump stitches so they can easily be 
trimmed manually.
A Connection Point setting can be selected 
not only for region sewing, but also for line 
sewing.

type, outline and inside region on/off).
