Creating Custom Stitch Patterns (Programmable Stitch Creator)
Viewing the Pattern While Creating It
You can display the Preview window to view a repeating image of the pattern as you create it.
1. If the Preview window isn’t displayed, click
Display, then Preview.
The Preview window for the selected Mode
setting appears, as shown in the examples
below.
The image in the Preview window is updated
as you enter the changes in the work area.
2. To close the Preview window, click its
button, or click the menu command Display
Preview to remove the check mark.
Creating a Pattern in Fill/Stamp Mode
The Line tool allows you to draw broken lines to create your fill/stamp stitch pattern.
The horizontal and vertical lines that you draw on the work area always follow the grid. The points that you
create by clicking the mouse button are inserted at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of the
grid, enabling you to draw diagonal lines as well. Regardless of where you click, a point will automatically be
inserted at the nearest intersection.
Depending on the pattern that you want to draw, you may need to select a grid of a different size. In addition,
by selecting None, the point will no longer be inserted at the nearest intersection, allowing you to create curved
patterns. For details on the grids and adjusting them, refer to “Changing the grid settings” on page 215.
