While creating a manual punching pattern, you can alternate the types. For example, you can start
with a block-type pattern, then switch to a running-type pattern (to draw an outline of the block-
type pattern) then switch to the feed type to move to the beginning of the next block-type pattern.
The whole pattern, consisting of different types, will be considered a single object (all parts will
have the same stitch and color).
In the example below, we start with a block-type pattern, use the feed type to move the cursor,
then create a run-type pattern.
