Lettering

Use the <lettering> element when creating or editing designs to place custom text with specific style, position, and thread color. The lettering block is modular — you can customize the lettering style, move it, scale it, and stitch it with the desired thread, all in one place.

      <simple_lettering ... />     <!-- Basic lettering settings -->
