Try this! If you make a mistake, press Backspace to
delete the last reference point, then continue digitizing.
3 When you have finished digitizing the line, either:
Press Enter to keep the last stitch and place the exit
point at the last point marked, or
Press Spacebar to omit the last stitch and place the
exit point on the opposite side of the column.
Try this! To make a border, 'close' the shape by
entering the last reference point exactly on top of the
first. If the points are not exactly on top of each other,
the stitches will not turn smoothly around the corner.

becomes the default width for new Border objects.
To set the column width and density
1 Select and double-click an object (Border or Run).
