Adding a closed broken line for
the sun’s rays
Now, let’s draw a few rays around the sun. There
are, of course, many ways to do this. You could,
for example, draw a single straight line for each
ray. For this example, we will use a closed
polygonal line (broken line) to draw all of the rays
as a single star-shaped pattern.
1.
Click on the Tool Box, and then click
.
→ The shape of the pointer changes to
, and the Sewing Attributes bar ap-
pears as shown below.
2.
Make sure that Close path is selected in the
Path shape selector.
b
Memo:
When drawing a closed path, the first point
and the last point are automatically joined.
The pattern has an outline and an inside
area, and sewing attributes can be applied to
both.
With an open path, the broken line is left
open (the first and last point are not
automatically joined). The pattern will not
have a region, therefore you can only apply
sewing attributes to the outline.
3. To change the color and sew type for the
outline, click the Line sew button ( ) so
that the Line color button ( ) and the Line
sew type selector ( ) appear, and
then select a line color and sew type.
For this example, select the color RED, and
leave the sew type set to Zigzag Stitch.
4.
To change the color for the inside area, click
the Region sew button ( ) so that the
Region color button ( ) and the Region
sew type selector ( ) appear,
and then select a region color.
For this example, select the color
VERMILION.

Note:
The selected sewing attributes will be
applied to the regions of every object that will
be drawn, until the attributes are changed.
