Creating a Pattern in Fill/Stamp Mode
The Line tool allows you to draw broken lines to create your fill/stamp stitch pattern.
The horizontal and vertical lines that you draw on the work area always follow the grid. The points that you
create by clicking the mouse button are inserted at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of the
grid, enabling you to draw diagonal lines as well. Regardless of where you click, a point will automatically be
inserted at the nearest intersection.
Depending on the pattern that you want to draw, you may need to select a grid of a different size. In addition,
by selecting
None , the point will no longer be inserted at the nearest intersection, allowing you to create curved
patterns. For details on the grids and adjusting them, refer to “Changing the grid settings” on page 215.
