3. If the patterns should be overlapped, enter the
overlap distance in the appropriate "Distance Apart"
box followed by the "Overlap" button. The value
in the "Distance Apart" box will turn to a negative
number (Figure 26).
4. If the pattern is designed to be a "Point to Point"
or "continuous" pattern, do not enter a value in the
"Distance Apart" box for the width, and tap on the
"Point to Point" box so a green check mark appears.
When the "Point to Point" option is selected, the Pro-
Stitcher will align the end point of the first pattern
with the start point of the next repeat. It will only
align horizontally, not vertically. Because of this, the
pattern should be designed such that the start and
end points are at the same vertical location.
(i.e., on the same plane). Most block and triangle
patterns are not designed to repeat in this fashion, so
the "Point to Point" option should be turned off
for these.
5. Press the "Repeat" button to process the repeats as
entered.
6. If the user wishes to make a change to any of
the values after pressing the "Repeat" button, they
may do so by simply changing the desired value and
pressing the "Repeat" button again to re-process the
repeats.
7. Press the "Done" button when the pattern is re-
peated as desired.
After pressing "Done," the pattern is saved and will
be treated as a single pattern in any future altera-
tions.
For example, if a pattern is repeated three times and
the user presses "Done," then decides they really
wanted four repeats, they would need to use the
"Undo" button to revert back to a single instance
Page 30
of the pattern prior to re-doing the "Repeat" func-
tion. If they were to return to the "Repeat" screen
without using the "Undo" feature, their new repeat
of four would really be a repeat of twelve because the
computer is treating the first repeat of three as a new
single pattern and repeating it four times.
