Blank Panels can be a lot
of fun, because you can add to it whichever theme designs you want. |
Once you have opened
Layout & Editing - Your screen will look like this.

|
First you will need to
open the file
that you wish to embroider first, (in this instance the Blank Side
Panel)
Click On - "File",
then on "Open"
or on this icon in
your toolbar

Next this following
screen will appear. |

Look in the folder where
you have saved your designs, for the relevant file you want.
When you click on a
filename , for example (CCFSLSidePanelBlank) - an image will appear on
the right hand side |

Then click on "open"
This design will now
be "thrown" into centre of the white block( your design area) of your
screen |
 |
To get the second
design - I prefer to use the
Import function
Click on - "File"
- then on "Import"
- then on "From
File"
or on this
icon in your toolbar

|
Next this following
screen will appear. |

Make sure that in the "Files
of Type:" box, you
have selected the "PES
format.
Look in the folder
where you have saved your designs, for the relevant file you want.
When you click on a
filename , for example (CCMouse) - an image will appear on the right
hand side. |

Then click on "Import"
This design will now
be "thrown" into the white block( your design area) of your screen,
exactly in the centre and on top of your first design |

You will see that it will
have a dotted box around it, with little black blocks (handles) in the
corners and the sides. This means that this is the design (including
all the sections that the mouse is made out of) is currently selected
-
because you
may want to move the mouse design around quite a bit,
I suggest that you
Group
your mouse first (Group
- turns several selected objects into one object)
Click on
Edit
and then on Group
(this just avoids the possibility that you may just move pieces of the
mouse, instead of the whole mouse, at a later stage
|
Once your mouse is "grouped"
you can move it to wherever you want it on the FSL Blank Side Panel.

If you wanted to
import another design as well, follow all the "import" steps above
again. As long as your design is on top of the FSL Lace panel,
everything is fine. |
Your embroidery
sequence will look like this

First is the FSL
Panel, and then all the sections of the mouse. |
If you think you may
want to use this combined file again in the future then make sure you
save it to your hard drive.
Click on
File
- then on
Save as -

Make sure to select
the folder where you want to save the design to
Type a new filename
in the filename box and click on
Save

|
Then write these
combined designs to your card/disc.
Click on
"File",
then on "write to
card" - then on
"current design"
Or if you are saving
to a 3.5" disc - Click on - "File"
- then on
"save as"
. Click on "A"
drive for your 3.5" disc and then click on
"Save" |
