Creating A Monogram - Brother BES Monogramming Suite Instruction Manual

Creating a Monogram

Creating a simple monogram design is very easy with
Pacesetter BES Monogramming Suite. Simply select one of the
monogram layouts, type in the letters you want, choose a font
and thread color, and click the OK button. The basic monogram
will appear in your workspace, after which, you can save it to
the appropriate file type.
You can also add embellishments to the monogram using the
"Monogram Designer" dialog. For details, see the following
sections, "Adding Decors to a Monogram" and "Adding a Frame
to a Monogram".
To create a new monogram design:
1 In the Monogram Designer dialog, select one of the styles
from the monogram styles area.
2 In the Text area, type your lettering into the appropriate text
field.
The number of text fields that are "active" depends on the
monogram style you have chosen.
For a single-letter monogram pattern, only the Text1 field will
be active; if a two-letter style is chosen, 'Text 1' and 'Text 2' will
be active; and if a three-letter style is selected, all three fields
will be available.
For Name-type templates, both the 'Text 1' and 'Text 2' fields
will be active - the initial letter will be input into 'Text 1' and the
name portion will be input into 'Text 2'. The exception to this is
the "Name-only" (i.e. no initial) template. For this template type,
the text for the name will be entered in the 'Text 1' Field.
Also note that, for the Name template monogram styles, the
maximum number of characters that the name field can have is
30.
3 Select the Font for the monogram from the fonts field.
