Another option in the
Rhinestone
window is
Fill shape with stones
. Instead of outlining the shape, the
image will be filled with circles in horizontal rows. In our prior example, the same letters will now appear like
this:
•
The gaps in the design can be easily corrected by adjusting the
Stone Spacing
. Instead of 0.50, the
spacing is increased slightly to 0.51 mm. The result is a complete correction of the spacing and the design
looks great:
•
Also, note the increase in the number of stones as a result of switching to a line fill. Rhinestones are
typically sold by the gross and 1 gross equals ~ 144 stones. Thus, this design would require over 5 gross of
stones compared to just under 2 gross for the outline version.
•
As with the outline option, any stone-by-stone editing will cause a loss of the simulation. If you wish to
restore the simulation after editing, write down the
Stone Size
before clicking on
OK
. Also note, however,
that the simulation is not needed when cutting the design from your template material. For guidelines on
editing, refer to the following section.
