6. If desired, the Angle of Inclination can be altered to change the look of
the Pattern Step stitches. Pattern Step stitches look best with a horizontal
angle of inclination. This is done as follows:
•
Select Edit: Edit outlines.
•
Click on the block to be edited.
•
Click on the Edit Outlines icon.
•
Click on Change Edit Mode icon, and the Prompt Line will read 'Edit
the Inclination'.
•
Click on either end of the Inclination Angle Line - it will become an
elastic line, which can be moved to a new angle. Drag the line into a
horizontal position, then click the left mouse again to 'set' it in place.
•
Click the right mouse to access pop-up menu, then left mouse on
Build Stitches.
NOTE: There are also 31 Special Stitch Motifs that can be used in place
of the Pattern Step fills. These will give a more open-looking stitch type.
