Print Template

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

The following tutorial explains how to print a template from Editor. In Embird, it is possible to change the position of the design being printed; you can move the design across the paper to the desired position if you want to save paper space—for example, if you want to print two or more designs using the same sheet of vellum.

Note: You can also print the documentation for your designs from Manager, using the commands contained in the "Right Panel > Print" menu. There are several types of documentation available in this menu.

1 - Run Embird and click the "Editor" menu to switch to the Editor window.

2 - Select the "File > Open" menu to open the file you want to print (Picture No. 1).

3 - Click the "File > Print Template without Texts" menu if you want the possibility to specify the design position on the printer paper (Picture No. 2).

In this example, the hoop size is 100 x 100 mm, as seen in the caption displayed in the middle of the cyan rectangle. The captions in the corners display the current position of these corners on the printer paper.

You can delete this text or add new lines. If you want to change the font of the text, click the "Font" button and choose a new one from the dialog box that appears on the screen. Click the "OK" button to continue.
