Adding Text

Step 1: Open the Text Tool

On the top of the Design Studio, toward the left side (second option), click Add Text. The Select Type of Text window will open.

Step 2: Select the Type of Text

You will see two options: Add Embroidery Text and Add Printing Text. Not all items allow both options. If one is unavailable, it will be grayed out with a note explaining why.

Step 3: Enter Your Text

After selecting the type of text, the Please Enter Your Text window will appear. Type your text into the white box, then click Add Text.

Step 4: Edit Text Properties

Once added, your text will appear on the item. On the right-hand side, the Text Properties panel will open:

Step 4a: Basic Text Editing

Edit your text directly in the first section of Text Properties.

Step 4b: Formatting

Change the font, color, bold/italic style, alignment (for multi-line text), add outlines, and toggle proportional resizing.

Step 4c: Position and Size

Move, resize, rotate, or precisely position text. You can also adjust the layer order if multiple elements exist.

Step 4d: Effects

Apply text effects such as shape adjustments, shadows, glow, or gradients (horizontal/vertical).

Notes: Adding text is optional. Some effects or formatting options may not be available for certain items.
