Wilcom > CorelDraw

High quality embroidered lettering

  • Over 200 Ready to embroider fonts, including NEW 3D puff

  • Specially designed fonts to stitch 4mm or less

  • Convert true type fonts and open type fonts to embroidery

  • Place text on arcs, circles or define your own baselines

  • Change the direction that letters are stitched such as centre out for caps

Quick text setup


How many hours have you spent moving letters left and right so they sit just right? Wilcom remembers how you like the letters to be positioned so you never have to do it again. This feature is called Update Kerning Values.

Ever had a font that needs modifying? Select the letter using the reshape tool and modify the outline. Save the changes under a new name and it will be available to use in the future. This feature is called User Refined Lettering.

Productivity features

Styles

Styles are a huge time saver. Store favourite stitch settings as a style and instantly apply them to other objects.

Make properties current / Apply current properties

Once you’ve used this feature, you’ll be lost without it!

Click on an object to record its stitch properties, such as underlay, connector settings, stitch type, spacing, pull compensation etc. Now you can apply those properties to another object with a single click.

Once recorded those settings can be used for all concurrent objects saving you a ton of time retyping their values.

Smooth Nodes

Auto-Converting graphics to embroidery objects often results in hundreds of unwanted nodes. This feature automatically cleans up the outlines and reduces the file size.

Branching

Select a group of touching embroidery objects and apply Branching to resequence them without any trims.

Backtrack and Repeat

Save time punching an outline twice by using backtrack and repeat. It duplicates the outline and stitches it either clockwise or reverse.
