Assigning Line Stitches To An Outlined Graphic

Even graphics that are already in outline form need to go through a preparation process.

What you'll learn
Even graphics that are already in outline form need to go through a preparation process.
The only graphics that don't need to go through a preparation process are those that Janome has supplied as a bitmap outline within EasyImport. They are available when you click on the down arrow next to the Open File icon. Select Bitmap Outline (.bmp) in the drop-down menu to import these files.

 

Assign Line Stitches

1. We are going to bring in an outlined graphic that has not been prepared, so we click on Import Bitmap (.bmp) in the drop-down menu.
2. The Import Color Bitmap dialog box will appear. 
   
3. Click on Day Flower once to see it in the Preview window.
4. Click Open to bring it to the design screen. Note: To locate the Day Flower file, change the "Look in" to C Drive/Program Files/Janome/Customizer 10000/EasyImport/Standard Hoop. 
   Just like other processes in software, there is more than one way to prepare the bitmap.
5. You can click on the Outline icon
    
   OR
   You can click on Edit on the menu toolbar, and then click on Outline in the drop-down menu.
   
6. You will know that the bitmap has been prepared when the hand mouse pointer has turned into an arrow.
7. You can now assign stitches to the graphic as in Customizer 10000 Lesson 27.
