Tools in the Embellish Tab

In mySewnet™ Embroidery Platinum, you’ll find a special tool set entitled Embellish.

Embellish tools, designed to support a special accessory Ribbon or Embellisment unit, include Ribbon $C:\Users\janie\Pictures\000_mySewnet Icons\Embroidery Filmstrip Icons\filmstrip-type-ribbon-16x2.png$ , Yarn $C:\Users\janie\Pictures\000_mySewnet Icons\PNG Gray\embroidery\tabs\embellish\type-yarn-24x1_5.png$ , and String of Beads $C:\Users\janie\Pictures\000_mySewnet Icons\PNG Gray\embroidery\tabs\embellish\type-string-beads-24x1_5.png$ . The Ribbon or Embellish Accessory units are designed for use with specific mySewnet™ WiFi enabled sewing and embroidery machines.

Decoration $C:\Users\janie\Pictures\000_mySewnet Icons\Embroidery Filmstrip Icons\decoration-16x2.png$ provides a visual view for placement of manually applied decorations, plus the option to design a template with an electronic cutting machine, or add marker stitches during embroidery to aid precise placement.

the Embellishment Accessory, designed to apply Ribbon, bead trim, and yarns as you embroider.
