Creating a Stitch Pattern in Motif Mode

In Motif mode, stitch patterns are created by inserting points on the base line of the motif stitch, then moving
them in order to change the shape of the stitch and give it the look of a single-stroke drawing.
The points you move or insert are positioned at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of the grid.
Regardless of where you drag a point to or insert a point on the line, it will automatically be positioned at the
nearest intersection.
Depending on the stitch you want to create, you may need to select a grid of a different size. For details on the
grids and adjusting them, refer to "Changing the grid settings" on page 222.

the software earlier than version 6, but .pas
files created with an earlier version can be
used as a base to create stamp files.
