Converting Characters (Japanese, Chinese,
Korean, etc) to Embroidery Patterns
Embroidery patterns can be created from various characters, such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc, using
TrueType fonts.
For this example, we will create an embroidery pattern from Japanese characters.
1. Start up Layout & Editing.
2. Select a Text tool, and then select a Japanese
TrueType font (for example, “MS Gothic”).
3. Display a character code table different from
the one that appeared in step 2. (Start – All
Programs – Accessories – System Tools –
Character Map)
4. Select MS Gothic from the Font list in
Character Map, and then select the
Advanced view check box. Next, select
Windows: Japanese from the Character set
list, select the desired character, and then
click Select.
(This example shows the Japanese hiragana
for the word meaning “Good Afternoon”.)
5. After selecting all of the desired characters,
click Copy to copy the characters.

enter the text.
