Manual Punching Mode
This mode is used to create patterns that look like manual embroidery. When you use the standard Fill or
Satin stitch to fill a region, the thread in the whole region has the same direction. Some patterns, how-
ever, look better when the thread direction “follows” the curves of the pattern. The Manual Punching
mode provides such a feature.
Letters that you design yourself constitute a typical example of patterns that look better when using the
Manual Punching mode. The illustrations below show the preview of two letters “O”.
The first one has been designed using two concentric ovals without a line sew setting, filling the larger
oval with Fill stitch and turning off the region sew setting inside the small oval. The pair was then set for
hole sewing.
The second letter has been redrawn using Manual Punching. To do this, we duplicated the first letter,
removed the region inside, and created a manual punching pattern using the outlines of the ovals as
guides. The ovals were then deleted.
The stitch density for both letters was set to a minimum in order to make it easier to see the difference
between the two patterns on the preview display.

When creating a manual punching pattern, it is easier to use something in the background as a guide. In
the above example, we used two ovals that we removed after completing the manual punching pattern.
Another possibility is to load a template bitmap image and redraw it using manual punching patterns. The
advantage of this method over the automatic conversion provided by Design Center is that you have a
better control on the thread orientation.

Creating a manual punching pattern
1
Open a template or prepare a pattern that you will use as a guide.
2
Click
on the Tool Box.
Three buttons appear:
.
is for creating block-type punching patterns.
is for creating running-type punching patterns (the broken line is sewn).
is for creating feed-type punching patterns (the broken line is not sewn).
While creating a manual punching pattern, you can alternate the types. For example, you can start
Fill stitch
Manual Punching
(the thread has a constant direction)
(the direction of the thread follows the curve)
