Happy Holidays!
I'm new to Wilcom (working with a friend who has it) and she's not been
able to answer this question:
Is there a function in Wilcom 2006 to create an applique from a Font?
I can do this currently in Embird with the font engine, but haven't
found a way to do it in Wilcom, and she has no idea.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

Three ways.
- Draw around the character iteself. I gave up on automatic digitizing
picture a long time agaio. They are too much work to fix up after.
- Use a hollow font supplied with Wilcom
- Use a thick font. Turn off or do not sew the main layer. Use an edge
underlayment modified to suit your needs.

John,
Thanks for the input, just got back from the holidays. Too bad Wilcom
can't do this natively. At only a couple hundred bucks it's a GREAT
feature of Embrid. Seems so simple for a package like wilcom to be
able to handle natively.
Thanks,
Marc

Another quick Wilcom question....
When you draw an object and want it outlined, is there any way to
delete a portion of the outline so that it's not all the way round the
object?
For example., if I drew a face, and wanted the outline only to extend
from "ear to ear" so that it wasn't stitched around the portion of the
head where the hair will go.
Gosh, I hope that made SOME sense....
Thanks,
Marc
