Although letters added to the screen are mathematically spaced, sometimes certain combinations of letters
will appear to be too close together or too far apart. Using Word Art (Text Bending) will allow exibility in
the spacing of the lettering.

on the screen.
2. Select the word “hand” in the Layer Panel.
3. Touch the “i” in the breadcrumb path and select the Word
Art icon.

Use the Upper (Width) Multi-function knob (or the -/+ icons
in the upper area of the screen) to change the spacing.
• Turning the knob to the left (or touching the - icon)
decreases the spacing between the letters.
• Turning the knob to the right (or touching the + icon)
increases the spacing between the letters.

spacing is visually pleasing.

increase/decrease stitch density. Increasing
density may be helpful on towels to prevent
