Fill/Stamp mode
In Fill/Stamp mode, you can make a stitch pattern
out of a single line or sets of lines, and you can then
choose to fill the areas enclosed by the lines to
create an embossing/engraving effect. Both types of
stitch patterns can be set as a programmable fill
stitch in addition to being applied as individual
stamps to regions of patterns in Design Center as
well as Layout & Editing.
The Line tool in the Tool Box allows you to draw the
lines of a fill stitch pattern or a stamp, and the
Region (engrave), the Region (emboss) and the
Region (reset) tools allow you to fill and edit the
enclosed areas of the stitch or stamp that you draw.
The sewing method for a programmable fill stitch is
different from the regular fill stitch, where the thread
is constantly sewn in a set direction. Instead, the
pattern will be sewn in such a way that the needle
drops directly over the created pattern.
■
Motif mode
In Motif mode, you can create original stitch patterns
by changing the shape of a single line. These stitch
patterns can be applied in line sewing and region
sewing in Layout & Editing, and region sewing in
Design Center.
A green arrow appears at the center of the work
area, showing the direction that the pattern (stitch)
will be sewn.
A single pink line appears along with the green
arrow. This line indicates the base for the motif
stitch, which can be altered by inserting points with
the Edit Point tool, and then moving them to form
original designs.
The blue square at the left edge of the work area
indicates the start point of that line and the red
square at the right edge indicates the end point of
the stitch.
The start and end points cannot be deleted, and
they must be aligned vertically. Therefore, if you
move one point up or down, the other point will
automatically move in the same direction.
