Using Programmable Stitch Creator

Programmable Stitch Creator allows you to design fill stitch and motif stitch patterns that can be applied as a
programmable fill stitch or motif stitch both in Design Center and Layout & Editing, resulting in more decorative
embroidery patterns. When applied to enclosed regions, the fill stitch or motif stitch pattern fills the region in a
tile-like manner. When applied to lines, the motif stitch pattern is repeated along the length of the line. In
addition, the fill stitch patterns can be applied as an individual stamp to enclosed regions. You can create your
own fill stitch and motif stitch patterns or use the many stitch patterns provided with this application, with or
without editing them.
In this section, we are going to edit an existing stitch pattern, and then apply embossing/engraving effects to it.
The complete procedure will take you through the different steps of a normal working session with
Programmable Stitch Creator and will introduce you to its most important features.
Follow the instructions in this section step by step. If you have to interrupt this exercise for any reason, it is
recommended to save the file (refer to Step 5, "Saving the edited stitch pattern", on page 58). You will be able
to retrieve it later and resume your work.
