It is as easy as selecting your artwork, clicking on this button, setting the "bridges" and pressing Enter. We have optimized all settings for the most used embroidery thread, 40 wt, but all settings can be changed in Properties Panel, tab Richelieu Cutwork, if you wish. This same function can be used to create Reverse Applique (for example to create "Mola" designs).
Magic Lace. Our second flagship function and again a world’s first! Select a closed shape and click on the Magic Lace button. It will turn it into several layers with a continuous underlay that will form the netting, the base of your freestanding lace. In the Lace dialog window you can add an embellishment from the Library. Afterwards all layers can be changed if you wish in Properties Panel, to give you optimal control.

Text effects. With several Envelope effects in the right-click menu you can be very creative with text.
