Crop Menu

Use Crop menu functions in conjunction with areas. After modifying a design as needed, mark an area that

represents the region to be cropped.

• Select Design and then Crop.

NOTE: If the Crop panel buttons at the bottom of the screen are grayed out, an area hasn’t yet been

defined. Define the area to be cropped before using any of the Crop functions.

Treatment of loose ends

Pro-Stitcher has two ways of handling loose ends, or jump points, that are created from a crop: Open or

Closed.

To perform a tieoff at jump points

• Choose Open to perform a tieoff at the jump points in a cropped design. Select Tie Off Start and Tie

Off Finish in Settings. For more information about the tieoff settings, see Control how Pro-Stitcher

performs tie-offs in chapter 8, Settings Menu.

To stitch between jump points

• Choose Closed to stitch along the border of the cropped area between jump points in a cropped

design.

Machine Quilting Tip: To stitch around the cropped area

The Closed option may not stitch the entire area outline. Consider using Trace Outline to

stitch around the perimeter of the area.

Purple lines show the

star-shaped multi-

point area.
