Line Drawing Mode

The line drawing mode allows you to add broken lines to your 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.
If the broken line you drew did not create enclosed regions, it remains a simple outline and you can only
set sewing attributes for the line itself in Stage 4.
If the broken line did create enclosed regions, you can assign stitches and colors to both the outline and
the regions in Stage 4.
If you draw a line through an existing region, creating two separate regions, you will be able to set sewing
attributes to both separately, as well as to the separating line.
