Drawing a broken line
The line drawing mode allows you to add broken
lines to your pattern. A broken line is made of one or
more adjacent straight lines, in other words, the end
point of one straight line is the start point of the next
one.
If the broken line that you draw did not create
enclosed regions, it remains a simple outline, and
you can only set sewing attributes for the line itself
in the Sew Setting Stage.
If the broken line created enclosed regions, you can
assign sew types and colors to both the outline and
the regions in the Sew Setting Stage.
If you draw a line through an existing region,
creating two separate regions, you will be able to set
sewing attributes for both regions separately, as
well as for the separating line.
