Line Drawing Mode

The line drawing mode allows you to draw broken lines to create your stitch pattern. A broken line is
made of one or more contiguous straight lines, the ending point of a straight line being the starting point
of the next one.
The horizontal and vertical lines that you draw on the work area always follow the grid. The points you
create by clicking the mouse are inserted at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of the
grid, enabling you to draw diagonal lines as well. So, regardless of where you click, a point will automati-
cally be inserted at the nearest intersection.
Depending on the stitch pattern you want to draw, you may need to select a different working grid.
For more information on the grids and on how to select them, refer to "Grid Menu" on page 177.
