How to print a design or placement template.

Quick answer: Click Print Preview (Home tab or File menu), click Settings to choose what prints, then click the Printer icon. For a placement template, check Actual Size and Cross Hairs, and uncheck In One Page.

Open Print Preview

Click Print Preview in the Home tab, or choose File > Print Preview. A preview window shows how the printed page will look.

In the preview window:

• Printer icon – sends the page to your printer.
• Page Setup – choose printer options.
• Left/Right arrows – if a design is larger than the paper, it's split across pages; use the arrows to see each page.
• Minus/Plus – zoom out and in.
• Settings – choose what to include on the printout.

To print directly without previewing, use File > Print (Ctrl/Cmd + P).

Print Settings options

• Margins – set left/right and top/bottom margins.
• Title – check the box and type a title to print at the top center.
• Actual Size – prints the design at its true size.
• Cross Hairs – adds a crosshair at the design center.
• Color Analysis – lists the color sequence of the stitch-out.
• Backdrop – prints the backdrop image.
• In One Page – fits the design onto one sheet of paper.
• The Header – prints full design details at the top.
• Artworks – prints artwork elements (including Notes).
• Hoop – prints the hoop chosen in the Hoop Tool.
• Realistic – prints a 3D/realistic view instead of 2D stitches.
• Footer – adds a Notes area at the bottom.
• Stitches – prints the stitches. If this is unchecked, the design won't print.
