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.
3 Click to start creating a block-type pattern.
The shape of the cursor changes to and displays together with a small image of the block-
type button. The Sewing Attributes bar now looks like this:
You can select the color and stitch at this step or after creating the pattern. See “Color” on page
144 and “Stitch” on page 146.
You can also set the sewing attributes using the Sew menu (see “Sewing Attribute Setting” on
page 204).
4 Click point 1 on the Design Page (start point).
Click point 2 and next points referring to the illustration below.
Note that you can always click the mouse’s right button to remove the last entered point.
5 After clicking at point 8 (the last point of the above block-type pattern), click (feed-type pat-
tern button), then click at point 9 (the start point of the running-type pattern).
6 Click (running-type pattern button) and click at points 10, 11, and 12 shown in the above
illustration.
7 When you reach point 13, (the last point of the entire pattern), double click to complete the pattern.
NOTE:
• You can freely switch between the block-type and the curved block-type punching pattern by
using the Point Edit tool.
• When entering points, change the punch type by pressing the appropriate shortcut key.
• A template image is needed in order to use the semi-automatic block-type punch tool. If there is
no image, this tool will create a punching pattern like the normal block-type punch tool.
