Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

In Embird you can create custom baselines for "Insert Text" and "Insert Font Engine Text" dialog boxes. The Digitizing Tools of Embird Studio are used for preparing the baseline .ETB file, which must be stored in "{User data folder}\PLUGINS" folder (e.g. in "C:\Users\Ladislav\AppData\Roaming\EMBIRD64\PLUGINS" folder on my PC) to be recognized by Embird. This tutorials explains how to create the custom baseline:

Note: Find out the {User data folder} on your PC by selecting "Help > Installed Plug-ins" menu in Embird.
