How to add color fill to an embroidery design on the Luminaire XP2

Well, we’re nearly finished! Yesterday, I showed you how to change the outline of a design because as creative beings we like to make things just right! When using the Brother Luminaire 2 Innov-ìs XP2 sewing, quilting and embroidery machine, it was really so easy and painless, wasn’t it? Today’s lesson will be another quick and easy one. Grab yourself a cup of tea and let’s fill in that design with some color.

The Luminaire 2 Innov-is XP2 Sewing, Quilting & Embroidery Machine

Select Region Property. Select color (highlighted in blue below); choose slate gray for the color. Select Region Fill (default setting) and leave the fill stitch at default. Select the Paint Can on the Region Properties.

With your touch pen, tap the center button on the mortarboard and the region will fill in with the slate grey color. Select Region Property and change color to deep gold; select OK and fill in the tassel and rope. Repeat this process for the rest of the colors, toggling back and forth until all the regions are filled in. You may have to zoom and pan in on certain areas. Zoom out to fill in another region.

When you’ve finished filling in all the colors, save your work to the Brother Luminaire XP2 machine’s memory.
