Digitizing columns of fixed width
Use Border to digitize borders and outlines of
larger shapes. The Border tool uses Satin stitch.
Creating columns and borders
Digitize columns and borders of fixed width with
the Border tool. Create objects using left and right
mouse clicks to mark reference points to form an
outline. Use left-clicks to enter corner points and
right-clicks to enter curve points. You can leave the
shape open, or create a border by joining the first
and last reference points.
To create columns and borders
1
Click the
Border
icon.
2
Digitize the shape of the column by marking reference
points.
Click to enter corner points.
Right-click to enter curve points.
Try this!
If you make a mistake, press
Backspace
to
delete the last reference point, then continue digitizing.
3
When you have finished digitizing the line, either:
Press
Enter
to keep the last stitch and place the exit
point at the last point marked, or
Press
Spacebar
to omit the last stitch and place the
exit point on the opposite side of the column.
Try this!
To make a border, ‘close’ the shape by
entering the last reference point exactly on top of the
first. If the points are not exactly on top of each other,
the stitches will not turn smoothly around the corner.
Setting column width and density
You can set the exact width of Border columns in
the Object Details dialog. The value you set
becomes the default width for new Border objects.
To set the column width and density
1
Select and double-click an object (Border or Run).
The
Object Details > Line Stitch
dialog opens.
2
Enter a width in the
Width
field.
3
Drag the slider to set the stitch density:
Use a lower density to give a zigzag effect.
Use a higher density when using thin thread.
