Manual

My Custom Design

Introduction

Thank you for using our embroidery design software My Custom Design.

My Custom Design enables you to create original embroidery patterns directly from the

screen of your Brother household computerized sewing machine that is equipped with the

compatible embroidery function. Before using this software, carefully read the instructions

contained in this manual in order to fully understand each of the various functions and the

correct operation of this software. Keep this Operation Manual in a safe place for future

reference.

Note:

This Operation Manual does not contain explanations on the operation of the sewing machine. For

details on using the sewing machine functions to edit embroidery patterns, refer to the Operation Manual

for the sewing machine.

Important:

Use of this software for unauthorized duplication of optional embroidery cards, newspapers or

magazines, etc. for commercial purposes may be unlawful and violate copyright laws.

This application is protected by copyright laws. The use and duplication of this software is regulated by

This software is for household use only.

Safety Precautions

Note:

For safety precautions concerning the sewing machine, refer to the Operation Manual provided with the

sewing machine. Use the sewing machine safely and correctly, as described in the Operation Manual.

What You Can Do With This Software

Embroidery patterns that can be created with this software

Lines of the drawing are sewn with satin stitches and areas are sewn with ﬁll stitches.

The following settings can be speciﬁed.

1Satin stitch (lines): thickness and stitch density

2Fill stitch (areas): sewing direction and stitch density

Line thickness: 1.0 mm

Fill stitch sewing direction:

Line thickness: 3.0 mm

Fill stitch sewing direction:

This software allows you to create original patterns just by using

the touch pen (stylus) or pen tablet to draw images and text on the

screen of the sewing machine or the tablet and painting the drawing

with the desired colors as easily as drawing images and text on

paper with a pen.

Until now, you could select various characters from those available,

combine them, and then embroider the characters. However, now

you can write your signature on the screen, and then embroider it.

The pen tablet, included with your sewing machine or with the

purchasable upgrade kit, makes this software so much easier to use.

The created embroidery patterns can be resized, combined with

characters and images and freely arranged in the sewing machine’s

embroidering or embroidery-editing screen in the same way that

built-in embroidery patterns are.

If you have a favorite picture, it can easily be traced using the pen

tablet. Follow the procedure described in “Tracing the Picture using

the Pen Tablet” on page 41.

Before you write your signature or draw pictures with the pen tablet,

begin with a draft drawing, then slowly and carefully trace the draft

drawing. This will help create beautiful ﬁnished lines.
