Blocks options

The Blocks tab lets you further filter production information available on the Design Information docker for inclusion in the printout.

Select design statistics to include on the worksheet:

Option	Function
Left / right / up / down	Depending on where the design start/end point has been set, these figures indicate the distance from that point.
End X / Y	The coordinates of the last stitch.
Area	Total area covered by design – used for estimating hoop sizes, fabric requirements, 3D foam, or whether design will fit target location.
Max / min stitch	The maximum and minimum stitch lengths, and maximum jump stitch length in the design.
Thread chart type	The name of the thread chart used in the design. All required brands for used threads are displayed in a comma-separated list.
Thread usage	Meterage of thread required per color.
Total thread	Total meterage of top thread required to stitch out the design.
Total bobbin	Total meterage of bottom thread (bobbin) required to stitch out the design.
Machine runtime	This checkbox is only available if the feature is available in the software. If there are no machines set up, checking ‘Machine runtime’ has no effect.
