Overview of Users Guide
Floriani’s Total Control Software is for both the experienced and beginning
users. This manual is not only filled with information about how to use the
program, but it also includes many time saving tips that will make you more
productive, efficient and effective in your embroidery projects.
When you first install the software, the Thread Converter software is already
unlocked and ready to be used.
Icons Used in This Book
This icon indicates a story. These stories help to explain and
simplify problems that may be very confusing.
This icon indicates helpful tips that enable you to better
understand how the software works
The "Time Saving" icon provides information that will save
you time in your day-to-day use of the software and in some
cases the use of your computer.
This icon is placed next to sections of this manual you should
not forget. Pay close attention to anything with this icon. It
may come in handy later.
This icon has two purposes. It allows the technologically
inclined to be aware of something complex and in some
cases exciting and lets the novice know they might want to
skip this section because the information may be confusing.
This icon lets you know of potential dangers and will warn
you about the pitfalls of using your computer.
When this icon will appears in the manual, it’s simple to
show
that the author has something to share.
This icon is placed next to sections of this manual where
there is an example that might help understand more clearly
what is being explained.
Terms Used in This Manual
In the Floriani Embroidery Software Platform, there are several different ways to activate
the same function or feature: by clicking your mouse on a drop down menu or clicking
on an icon or in some cases using a hot key.
When suggested that you click an icon with the mouse, a
picture of the icon button will appear in the left margin.
“Choose the Open command from the drop down menu File”
is the same as “Choose File, Open (Alt+F+O).”
“Alt+F+O”means that you can access this command by
holding down the "Alt" key and pressing the "F" key. The
action opens the drop down menu File. Pressing the O
key next will activate the Open command. For example,
when you see a key combination such as "Alt+F+O",
remember that you don’t hold down all three keys at once;
you press the"Alt+F" and then the "O".

Sequence View
The Sequence View is a very powerful panel. This panel is often overlooked and under
utilized. It is in this panel where you get a snapshot of the entire design. You are able to see
the sequence in which the design will sew out. Also, you will see a small view of each object
and the color of that object. When you expand the view for a color segment you will see a list
of all stitch types used to create that element in the order in which it will sew out.
The Sequence View will quickly and easily allow you to turn on/off the view of a given
segment. This helps greatly when editing objects or figuring out where all the elements of a
given segment are located in a design. Also, you have the ability to lock a design color
segment. When you lock a segment it takes away the ability of that object to be moved or
have the properties changed in any way.
The Sequence View is also the area in which you change the sewing order of the design. You
can click and drag a segment or design element into a different location by simply selecting it
and dragging it into the desired location.
Sequence View – use this to select design elements, turn design element views on/off,
resequence designs, etc.
Plus Symbol – use this to expand/retract elements pertaining to the color.
Eye Symbol – use this to turn on/off the view of a design element.
Lock Symbol – use this to lock/unlock the elements in the sequence. When locked you
cannot change the properties of that element.
Move Elements – to move a element left mouse click and hold the click while dragging your
mouse to the desired location. Release mouse click when in the desired position.
p27
Properties Box Description
The Properties box is where all the settings for an element/stitch type are accessed and
modified. This is the most powerful panel in the Floriani Embroidery Software program. Use
this panel to view and modify the stitch type, stitch length, stitch density, underlay type and
settings, pull compensation values, start/end stitch commands, tie-in and tie-off stitches, and
design size and angle.
Below is a list of each tab found in the Properties box. The options available for each stitch
type changes depending on the type of stitch. Make sure you look at all the settings available
and what they control.
Properties – use the properties window to modify all aspects of design elements.
Fill – use this section to adjust the fill (run/manual, satin, complex fill) properties of an
element.

Editing Stitches & Object Structures
Edit Start & Stop Point
In Floriani Total Control software you have the ability to change the start and stop (end)
points of embroidery elements regardless if the design was created in the software itself or in
another program originally.
The Start Point is the start of an object and is designated by a green circle. In digitizing
(after completing a shape) your cursor will have a green dot next to it, prompting you to click
on the shape to choose the desired starting point for the individual object.
The Stop Point is the end of an object and is designated by a red circle. In digitizing (after
entering a start point) your cursor will have a red dot next to it, prompting you to click on the
shape to choose the desired ending point for the individual object.
Green Dot = Start Point
Red Dot = Stop Point
To change the start point and end point of an object follow these steps:
Shape tool, select the object you want to change the start and/or stop point
1. Using the
of.
2. To adjust the start point, place your cursor over the green dot (start point) and left click
and hold while dragging it into the desired position. (Your cursor will display a green dot
beside the cursor when you have your cursor in position over the start point in order to let
you know that you will be selecting itwhen when you left mouse click).
3. To adjust the stop point, place your cursor over the red dot (stop point) and left click and
hold while dragging it into the desired position. (Your cursor will display a red dot beside
the cursor when you have your cursor in position over the stop point in order to let you
know that you will be selecting it when when you left mouse click).
4. Once done changing the start point and/or end point, right mouse click in a blank area
of your design page to set the changes.
p97
Edit Stitch Angle Lines
A Stitch Angle Line (Inclination Line) instructs the stitch which angle to run the stitching
within an object. Some objects will require more Inclination Lines than others to form a
smooth shape.
In a c omplex fill, for example, this allows the user to set the direction the fill will sew. this can
be done in edit mode (using Shape tool) manually or by clicking the right mouse button on
the inclination
line, then set angle to 0, 45, 90, 135.
To change the angle line(s) of an object follow these steps:
Shape tool, select the object you want to change the angle line of.
5. Using the
6. To adjust the angle line(s), place your cursor over the black dot and left click and hold
while dragging it into the desired position. (Your cursor will display a black dot beside the
cursor when you have your cursor in position over the angle line in order to let you know
that you will be selecting it when when you left mouse click).
7. Once done changing the angle line, right mouse click in a blank area of your design
page to set the changes.
Please see example below:
Note: Angle Lines (inclination lines) can be added or deleted by selecting the object, choosing
the shape tool, then right clicking to bring up the menu (which will offer the option of adding
or deleting angle lines).
p98
Adding & Deleting Points/Nodes
In Floriani Total Control software you have the ability to add and delete points/nodes in
embroidery elements regardless if the design was created in the software itself or in another
program originally.
A Point/Node is a blue square (see image below) that surrounds an element. The combination
of these nodes are what make up the structure of an object. There are different types on
nodes (Line, Cusp, Smooth, and Symmetrical). Each node has different characteristics that
affect the shape of the line that leads into and away from that node (please refer to the next
section to learn how to change node types).
Adding and deleting nodes come in really handy when you need to change the structure or
shape of a design element.
To add a point follow these instructions:
Shape tool, select the object you want to add the point to.
8. Using the
9. To add a point, place your cursor over the spot you want to add the point and then right
mouse click.
10. From the drop down list select Add Point.
11. Once done adding a point, right mouse click in a blank area of your design page to set
the changes.
To delete a point follow these instructions:
Shape tool, select the object you want to add the point to.
12. Using the
13. To delete a point, place your cursor over the point you want to delete and then right
mouse click.
14. From the drop down list select Delete Point.
15. Once done deleting a point, right mouse click in a blank area of your design page to set
the changes.
Please see the next section for instruction on how to change the type of node. Also, for
exercises on adding and deleting nodes, please refer to the workbook that was provided with
your software.

Editing Points/Nodes
In Floriani Total Control software you have the ability to change the point/node of embroidery
elements regardless if the design was created in the software itself or in another program
originally.
The skill of Node editing, as it is often called, is a very important skill to master as a digitizer.
This skill is especially helpful when you have to edit or modify and stitch file created by
someone else. This allows you to change structures and shapes of elements.
There are 4 types of nodes/points:
1. Line
2. Cusp
3. Smooth
4. Symmetrical
To change the style of any node follow these instructions:
1. Select the object using the Shape tool.
2. Right mouse click on the node you want to change.
3. Next, select the new type of node you desire.
a. Line - turns the lines on either side of the node straight.
b. Cusp - makes it so the angle can be changed on either side of the node
without affecting the other side of the node.
c. Smooth - turns the lines leading into the node smooth and rounded.
d. Symmetrical - makes it so when you move one side of the node using the
control handle it affects the other side of the node identically.
Please refer the the Floriani Total Control Workbook for exercises on changing node types.
Below are images from some of the exercises contained in the workbook that came with your
software:

An “Applique” is a sewing technique in which fabric patches are layered on a foundation
fabric, then stitched with the raw edges turned under or covered with decorative
stitching. From the French appliquer, “to put on,”
This function, has three parts:
1. Cut Line or Placement Line.
This is a tracing with the use of a running stitch to guide the
embroidery on where to lay down the material. A“Color Change”
or “Stop command” is automatically added at the end of step
one. The cut line is 50% from the edge of the cover stitch.
2. Tack Down Stitch.
This stitch is a running stitch that holds down the material
added after step one, (keeping it from shifting and moving
around). The tack down stitch will automatically be moved in
from the cut line approximately 50% between the edge of the
cut line and cover stitch.
3. Cover Stitch.
The cover stitch will edge the fabric patches to the
foundation fabric. Note: The width of the cover stitch will be
centered over the cut line; 50% on the fabric patch and 50% on
the foundation fabric.
There are 3 types of Cover Stitches to choose from:
1. Satin
2. E-Stitch (Blanket stitch)

Circle Template
Drop Down: Tools
Icon:
Key Command: None
Description:
The Circle Template allows you to take a design and create a circle pattern around it. It will
duplicate the design and arrange it in a circular pattern. You are able to control the number
of items that go around the circle, the angle of the items, the space between objects, and
scale % of each item.
Here is a description of each of the options for the Circle Template Feature:
Circle size:
Width - the overall width of the circle
Height - the overall height of the circle
Keep aspect ratio - if checked, when you enter a value in for either the width or height it
will automatically adjust the value for the other. It makes sure you keep a perfect circle by
keeping the two values proportional. If you uncheck the box you can create a oval shape by
selecting different values for both the width and the height.
Settings:
Repeats - this is the number of times the design repeats around the circle
Angle - the is the angle between objects. It automatically changes when you place a value in
the “Repeats” box
Individual object settings:
Scale (%) - this allows you to make the object larger or smaller.
Angle - this allows you to rotate each design slightly by the amount input into the box. This
is helpful when wanting to have each design rotate toward each in a circular motion.
Auto rotate - this will automatically rotate the elements in the design.
Auto resequence by color - when this box is checked the circular design objects will
automatically be resequenced by color. Using the above example, this would mean that the
design would sew all the white in the design and then sew all the black in the design. It would
not complete one object fully before moving on to the next object.

Pathing
Definition:
Pathing represents the traveling route the design follows from start to finish. There are two
important considerations when planning your design pathing. The first is machine efficiency.
This means that you want your embroidery machine to sewing an efficient manner without
constantly jumping from one part of the design to another or to place numerous amounts of
unnecessary trims in the design.
The second consideration is the primary material that will be sewn. Take into consideration
the characteristics of the m aterial. A firm non-stretchy material such as denim will be more
forgiving and allow less color changes while a thicker material such as fleece has more give
and will need to be broken up into more sections.
As a general rule , for garments, you want to work a design from the center of the design and
start with larger areas and move to smaller areas. For hats, you will work from the center out
to each side and start at the bottom and work up toward the top. Complete each section
before moving on to the next. A hat design will typically have more trims and color changes
to ensure proper registration and avoid pinching of the material in the center.

The following is an explanation of all the different ways you might see and use Properties.
This function is one of the most dynamic and changing functions within the software. The best
thing to remember is that this software is an object based software. Each piece or pieces of a
design is considered an object and the properties can be changed or modified.

Repeat Design
Drop Down: Tools
Description:
The “Repeat Design” function allows you to set up for sewing patches. It repeats the loaded
design number across, number down. You can set the distance between each design, (if you
are sewing an entire patch including the border). You can set it from the center of each
design, (if you are sewing on finished patches).
Here is a description of each of the options for the Repeat Feature:
Number across - this value determines how many of the object appear in a row from left to
right.
Number down - this value determines how many of the object will appear in a row from top
to bottom.
Horizontal distance - This value determines how much distance to place between objects
that run horizontally (left to right or side by side).
Vertical distance - This value determines how much distance to place between objects that
stacked vertically (on top of each other or above/below each other).
Distance between centers - this aligns the objects based on the center point of the object.
If selected, the objects will be side by side with no distance between them - they will be
touching each other.
Auto resequence by color - when this box is checked the objects will automatically be
resequenced by color. The design will sew all the objects with the first color before moving on
the next color. This will eliminate excessive color changes between objects.

Sequence View Toolbar
The Sequence View is a very powerful panel. This panel is often overlooked and under
utilized. It is in this panel where you get a snapshot of the entire design. You are able to see
the sequence in which the design will sew out. Also, you will see a small view of each object
and the color of that object. When you expand the view for a color segment you will see a list
of all stitch types used to create that element in the order in which it will sew out.
The Sequence View will quickly and easily allow you to turn on/off the view of a given
segment. This helps greatly when editing objects or figuring out where all the elements of a
given segment are located in a design. Also, you have the ability to lock a design color
segment. When you lock a segment it takes away the ability of that object to be moved or
have the properties changed in any way.
The Sequence View is also the area in which you change the sewing order of the design. You
can click and drag a segment or design element into a different location by simply selecting it
and dragging it into the desired location.
Sequence View – use this to select design elements, turn design element views on/off,
resequence designs, etc.
Plus Symbol – use this to expand/retract elements pertaining to the color.

Underlay
Definition:
The “Underlay” is the foundation of the design. The “Underlay” helps stabilize the material
and helps the threads lay properly on the garment. In many cases, when you need to increase
stitch coverage of a shape, you can add m ore underlay versus adding more density to your
shape. This helps provide added coverage while minimizing the risk of puckering and high
stitch counts.
Some form of underlay is present on almost all digitized shapes. You can use a single
underlay type or in some instances you may want to use multiple underlay types.
