Digitizing columns of varying width
Use the Turning Angle Fill
tools to digitize columns of
varying width with turning
stitches . Digitized pairs of
reference points define the
outline, while lines connecting
the pairs define the stitch
angles .
To digitize columns of varying width
1 Click a Turning Angle Fill icon.
2 Digitize the shape by marking reference points on
alternate sides of the column.
Š
Click to enter corner points.
Š
Right-click to enter curve points.
Mark a pair of points wherever the outline changes, and
wherever you want the stitch angle to change.
Note The control points in a pair do not have to be the
same type. For example, one can be a corner point, the
other a curve.
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:
Š
Press Enter to keep the last stitch and place the exit
point at the last reference point you digitized, or
Š
Press Spacebar to omit the last stitch and place the
exit point on the opposite side of the column.
Try this! If you are joining two columns, omit the last
stitch on the first column so that the exit point is close
to the entry point of the next column.
