View/Apply Variegated Thread to Objects
We are excited to bring you the ability to apply and view Floriani Variegated Thread colors to your
embroidery designs. This gives you a better idea of how your design may look before sewing it out.
If you own the Floriani Total Control software you are also able to create your own variegated
thread charts.
We have added Floriani Variegated Cotton thread to the "Floriani Cotton" thread chart and we have
also added Floriani Variegated Rayon and Mixed Poly/Rayon Thread to the "Floriani" thread chart.
Please make sure you click here to watch the video that shows you how to apply variegated threads.

Enhanced C2S Format
The format changed in two ways. One was to support variegated thread; the other was the ability to
sew a well-designed true type font. Without this core change to the C2S format, we would not have
been able to do justice to true type fonts.
Enhanced PLT and DXF Format
Every so often you get some pesky bugs in software programs. Well, we have squashed a few in this
latest update. You will find better performance when saving to .plt and .dxf formats.
