Multi-part Designs

Some commercial embroidery machines have a limited stitch count memory. Therefore, some designs are available in more than one part.

When opening designs in a computer embroidery program, make sure, if the program is set to automatically center designs when bringing them up, to TURN OFF the "Auto-Center" feature before bringing up the design parts.

When using a design with multiple parts, it is helpful to first review all parts in the computer embroidery program. Become familiar with where the parts stitch. DO NOT CENTER any of the parts before sending to the embroidery machine.

After the first part is stitched, make sure not to move the pantograph. Then load the next part of the design and start the machine. All of our designs are set up to go back to the center after each split and then go to the point where the next part starts.

It is helpful to know machine stitch count limitations, if any, before ordering. If the total stitches in a design exceeds the stitch limitation for your machine please let us know and we will send the design(s) in parts. If you have the design in parts, but your machines stitch memory can hold all of the stitches, you can either combine the parts in a computer embroidery software program or contact Dakota Collectibles and we will send the design as one part.
